St. Lucia

St. Lucia has a population of 160,000 and is about 239 square miles in size. The capital is Castries (where the ship has been docked) and about a third of the country's population resides there. St. Lucia is a volcanic island and is more mountainous than many of the other Caribbean islands. The highest point on the island is Mt. Gimie (3,120 feet above sea level). Two other mountains, the Pitons, form the island's most famous landmark. We had the privilege of seeing them as we sailed into St. Lucia and then again when we went diving with John's dad! Saint Lucia is also one of the few islands in the world that boasts a drive-in volcano; but unfortunately, we didn't get a chance to experience that. Maybe next time! ;)
