Vieux Fort

At the southern tip of St Lucia lies the city of Vieux Fort. We drove through town to find The Old Plantation Yard restaurant for some lunch.
It was tasty!
Horses graze along the road out of town. That's the airport in the background.

Anse de Sables

The rocky beach below Moule a Chique is Anse de Sables. It's too rough for swimming but the views are quite nice.
Popular with wind- and kite-surfers.
The Mariana Islands and Moule a Chique in the distance.

Moule a Chique

This is the view from Cape Moule a Chique, the southern tip of St Lucia outside of the city of Vieux Fort. You can see the strip of the airport in the distance.
You can see an impressive aerial view of Moule a Chique here to give you some perspective on our location.
The lighthouse closed at 5. We chose to walk up and got there at 4:50, giving me enough time for just a few shots.
The Mariana Islands nature preserve. Alas, our attempt to book a tour were fruitless.

Summer Garden

The heat is on, and the garden is getting tall! These photos are a few weeks old, I'm posting them so you all can see how it grows. I have a set of more recent photos to post soon. The Sweet Gentleman Corn, above, is twice as tall now. This may be our first successful year for corn.

By the time I got the front cleaned up it was too late to plant a whole lot, however, some nice larkspurs came up by the mailbox.
