St. Lucia

Back to the cruise. I get distracted and just need to finish!
Oct 12, 2011- St Lucia
This was probably our favorite day. The weather wasn't the best, but I'm glad we had something not "beachy" planned because sitting on the beach in the rain would be kinda a bummer. The six of us renting a catamaran to take us along the coast of St. Lucia, snorkeling and out to lunch. It was so fun, and St. Lucia was absolutely beautiful.

The place where Jake and Vienna stayed on "The Bachelor".  $1,500 per night!!! Lucky camera men!

 

The snorkeling was amazing.  We saw lot of fish, barracuda, and jellyfish.

More planking. Of course.

 

 

I love swimming in the rain.  Especially when it's not too cold. It rained pretty hard for a few minutes, then died down.

 

After we snorkeled we headed for lunch. Trying to keep warm.

 

Lunch! This little restaurant was featured on the Food Network.  I don't remember what I got, but I remember it being good.  Even though it was raining, look how calm the water is! I am so grateful it was calm water and none of us got sea sick! I loved the ambiance of the little restaurant...right on the water.

After lunch we went to a beautiful black sand beach.  It isn't accessible by land so we had to swim there.    I love the contrast of the green, black, then blue water.

Swimming in.

We all collected shells to bring home for our kids.

More planking.

We had a great day in St. Lucia!!!

That night we watched the sun set, learned lots about "things" (how the moon causes waves, is Mars liquid or gas?-or something like that--we learned a lot!), played games and enjoyed being together!
