Honeymoon Pictures

We returned from our honeymoon late this past monday night. We were lucky enough to visit the island of St. Lucia in the West Indies. This island is beautiful and the people are gracious. I would definitely recommend visiting there if you get the opportunity. We did a few excursions and went to a local street party which they have every Friday night. It was cool to see how they live and to taste some of the local culinary treats such as the cocoa bean straight from its source which actually tastes like a jolly rancher rather than chocolate.

 We took a helicopter ride from the airport to near our hotel when we arrived. This was taken while looking down. The helicopter ride was definitely a treat and a cool way to see the island.

 While the helicopter was landing, there was this really unique abandoned building. I do wonder though what it was once used for.

 This was taken from inside an old prison at the top of hill near our resort. Doesn't look like the prisoners back in the day had too bad of a view.

 At the top of the hill where the prison was, there was quite a view and I can see why it was such an important viewpoint for the residents of the island.

 Also on top of the hill remains the canons that they used to use to deter attacks. Pretty cool to think that these were used to fight off the enemy and remain where they are.

 This was one of many very colorful flowers that draped the entire resort. Not only did they look beautiful but they smelled that was as well.

 Just outside of the resort was this uniquely painted picnic table. I must say that if there is one place to have a picnic, this would be it.

 The locals walk up and down the beach trying to sell their goods. I'm not sure what this guy was selling but he usually had his son with him who was adorable. He was probably 5 years old and had his hair in dreadlocks and would just run around on the beach without a care.
