St Lucia

Today we visited another new-to-us island, namely St Lucia.  We had an afternoon excursion so I played bridge in the morning while Mary did some shopping on shore.
Princess has a daily show about events on board the ship, called the Wake Show.  Yesterday I entered the daily Wake Show quiz and I won! This was a very nice prize with several color changing items from Del Sol plus a rum cake and a set of earrings from Diamonds International. I debated getting my ears pierced but in the end decided to give the earrings to Mary.
This afternoon we took a boat ride to see the Pitons. These majestic twin mountains rise about 2500' from the ocean.  The one on the right is actually the taller peak, but it does not look like it since it is 5 miles father away from the boat.  The boat ride was very enjoyable and smooth.  They served a very good rum punch on board. I had a few - I kinda lost count after a while.

Tonight's production show was the songs of Bert Bacharach.  It was amazing how many he wrote.  Both Mary and I knew the words to every one of them.  They have a very talented group of both musicians and singers on board.

On to Barbados, our southernmost island, tomorrow!

Looks like you are having a great time and visiting some beautiful islands. Good going on winning the morning show prize! Nice of you to give the earrings to Mary rather than getting your ears pierced!!
Keep on having fun!
