Desi and Jonathon

We went out on the same boat today, but for the whole day. Desi is the name of our captain and he has a young helper, Jonathon. We went farther around the island and stopped in a few towns. Jonathon (a very small fourteen year old) was our guide off the boat. He joined us for lunch and told us all about school (children are taught English, French and Spanish in school and learn creole at home). He was very sweet and later we learned that he had been suspended from school and that is why he was on the boat in the middle of the week.



This rock formation (which looks kind of like a stegosaurus) has a little bridge in it. I was very nervous about going under it, but we made it!!












I surprised myself at how nervous the boat made me. I have no problem flying all over the world, but big waves freak me out!!! Thank goodness I was the only one with frayed nerves. The confidence of others does seem to help.






This is the cathedral of the immaculate conception in Castries (the 'big' city). It was interesting to see the influence of different generations and styles in one building. It was a nice escape from the crowds coming off the cruise ships (so glad they can't dock on our side of the island).



This is for Elena. Saw this sign and thought of you. We miss you and are so sad you couldn't join us.
