Wedding/Vacation Pics from St Lucia

[Russian Blue]

I have over 300 pics, so here are a few more to view.

I'm adding this pic so you can see my whole dress here.....I really loved this dress. I actually packed it in the luggage and it arrived fine! And, I purchased it for $99! Deal!

A girl who worked at the resort fell in love with it. I surprised her when I was leaving by giving her the dress! She almost started to cry. The resort is in a very poor part of town and I'm sure she can't make much working at this resort so she can either use it or sell it. I'd rather give the dress to someone who will made use of it rather than have it hang in my closet and collect dust!

The wedding assistant told me to stop in order to take a pic & I was taking a step so my legs look awkward.


The path leading to our villa - you can see how lush the surroundings are in this pic


Now some pics of the villa that we rented. It's called the Frangipani Villa and it really is one of the best one's at the resort. We only had one neighbour to our left and there was a deep ravine on the other side of us.



Our pool lit up at night.


The villa had a series of wooded shutters that had a screen on the outside. So, at night, you could keep all the shutters open to get an amazing breeze. The only problem? The sounds of the rainforest was loud! We brought earplugs but by the second night I loved hearing it.


Continued in next post......

I told you earlier that we are on the side of the mountain....so check out how steep the roads are - driving here is not for the faint of heart and you want to always make sure your brakes are in working order!


Some great pottery was scattered around the pool area


And there were fruit trees everywhere. Here are some new bananas. Did you know that a banana plant can only bear fruit once? Then it is chopped down to let another plant grow from its base. The fruit takes approximately 7-8 months to grow......I didn't know that! The local bananas taste way better than the one's we get at home.



Food was always good and they use all homemade ingredients and garden veggies. Their pancakes were to die for - Banana, Mango or Cinnamon. Rob would always order a double order.


More sunset pics.



Also, we watched some beautiful ships pass by our place.....

I was hoping you'd post more pictures. That was very sweet of you to give your dress to that girl.

I want to go back now!!! I remember driving over there. We went on tours and it was rather scary. They drive fast and there are no stop signs at most intersections, it was crazy!!

When we got off the boat (or ship, I guess) our tour guide told us it rains 90% of the time. We were lucky and had a beautiful day. Then at 5pm when we were back on the boat it started pouring.

Feel free to share more pictures. I, for one, will not tire of them.

Oh Kass- that was wonderful. Congratulations to you and Rob
You look great and the island gives you the purrfect surrounding.
I love the idea of giving your dress away- it makes so much sense
Thankyou for sharing the event with us. And great that Gigi and Steve are no longer kitties out of wedlock
