Our Last Week in St. Lucia

It was Creole Week in St. Lucia!!
They all celebrate their old customs, the way they used to cook on the cole pots,
dance and dress.  I love the madras plaids, they are all bright colors, and against their beautiful black skin, it is absolutely beautiful.
Some of the Young Women surprised us with some really fun, Creole Dances!
It was such a highlight for me.


The girl on the left is Teddianne, she just turned 13 last week, Oct 26.
We helped celebrate her birthday ---sweet girl!


D'Anne, Kacy and Sarah, went with us see some entertainment at the 
Windjammer Resort....the best dancers ever!  
I could have watched them dance all night...amazing


Ethan, the boy is the middle with the mostly blue shirt on, is such a sweet little boy, we went to pick him up from school and couldn't resist snapping a few photos of these darling children.


Elder Sherwood is so close to all the youth, he loves them dearly, as do I!!

Each time we buy mangos and other things from Magilda, she always throws in a couple of extras "For My Friend" she says! She has been working at that roadside stand for 16 years!
