Pirates of the Carribean

Thursday, February 25

We spent the day in a little spot right in between the pool and beach ... after yesterday's long day of travel, I wanted to do nothing more arduous than turn the pages of my book . The temperature during the day is about 88 degrees. The water is a glorious shade of blue. The smell of
the salt water is so refreshing.

The island nation of St Lucia was controlled by France or Britain for much of the preceding 300 years. However, in 1979, St Lucia gained it's Independence. The capital is Castries. We flew into the capital city last night ... although we didn't get to see very much last night since it was so late.

The Pirates of the Caribbean, Deadman's Chest movie was filmed in St Lucia. Today, the Black Pearl floated into the bay.

Our hotel is located on Rodney Bay ... it's a gentle inlet where winter visitors park their boats and spend the winter in the warm waters of the Caribbean. The bay is bordered by Fort Rodney and Pigeon Point.
