> Hi from the High Seas! We set sail from St. Lucia at 5:00 PM. I took this "selfie" from the balcony of our stateroom, where I am am enjoying a Mojito (one of those minty/lime rum drinks)

> Our day was great! We left in an air conditioned bus, which feels good because the temp. Is a steady 85 degrees, and, of course, humid! On this island there is only one straight road....the air strip! It is all up and down and the roads are narrow and curvy - winding up high, then winding back into a cove where a village would be. Most of the island lies inside the cauldron of an old, yet still steaming volcano. We got up close and personal with the boiling center - very interesting. Much of the island is rain forest, with wonderful ferns, flowers, banana plantations, coconuts and cacao trees. We stopped for lunch to sample a Caribbean meal. Beans, rice, potatoes, cabbage and chicken. It seemed pretty bland compared with my love for Mexican food.

> One of the couples at our dinner table is from Puerto Rico, They don't speak English, so I am enjoying chatting with them and translating some of the other dinner talk to them. Time for another Mojito! Love, Liz
