Wow, long time no blog.
I guess since March not much has really happened until last week when my friends Terry, Chris, Robi and Robert came down for a week.
It was great to see them again, but it was too bad about the weather. They came during the rainiest April in St. Lucia's recorded history. So it pretty well poured the entire time they were here, but we had a few good times anyway.
I met up with Robi and Robert in Vancouver, and from there we flew from Vancouver to Toronto. In Toronto we met up with Chris in the airport, and the three of us travelled down to St. Lucia. When we got there it was nice and sunny, and we went back to my place and hung out for the night, then walked around downtown and went and checked out the beach at night.
The next day on Monday we hiked Pigeon Island and got some great views of Rodney Bay. We then did some swimming in the bay, had dinner at a restaurant in Pigeon Island park, and were joined by Terry.
The next day it started and pretty much didn't stop till Saturday. We spent the next few days at my boss's house, making up our own version of Marco Polo to play in the pool, and heading out see the Rodney Bay nightlife during the evening. We met some fun people and got to see the Gros Islet Street Party. We even went deep sea fishing during a rain storm and caught two tuna, a mackerel and I caught a barracuda!
Finally on Saturday it cleared, which was good, because it was the day of our day long boat cruise down the west side of the island. We finally got to see the Pitons, and swam on the beach and enjoyed a day of cruising, sipping on rum punch. I'm very glad we got at least that one day, since all the guys but Terry left on Sunday.
It was great seeing them all again, and I hope I can convince them to come down again for some better weather.
