Lime

We have expanded our  vocabulary!  When we arrived in St. Lucia and received our itinerary for the week, we were all rather confused by a term that appeared numerous times: Travel to Soufriere and lime.

Initially, we believed "Lime" was a place, as it turns out lime means to hang out, which can include, eating, drinking, dancing and more. I think it is a phrase we should all start using more!

On Wednesday we had a Rotary meeting at the St. Lucia Club, after the meeting we were able to lime. On the drive back we went on a short hike to see some stunning views of the Pitons. On the hike we saw chocolate in its raw form. There are little pods which are very slimy but taste very sweet, if you crack the pod open the actual chocolate is extremely bitter and a bold purple color. We also stopped to swim in the sulfur springs (which are said to have amazing health benefits), and ate some chocolate cassava bread paired with Piton beer!

Our time spent on our vocations was enjoyable. Kendra and Bob saw many different developments some were completed, others were just starting to develop. Suriya went to the criminal court, family court, and the Boys Training Center which is an all encompassing program for boys ranging from age 12 to 16. Sara spent time at the Government Fisheries Complex where she was able to learn about St. Lucia's plans for conservation, pollution, climate change, and costal habitats.
