Sulfur Springs and Seeing Things in St. Lucia


We had a jam-packed time in St. Lucia (http://www.stlucia.org/). We took a full-day excursion offered through the cruise ship to see everything from the main town, Governor's mansion, the twin Pitons (http://www.turq.com/stlucia.html, which made for terrific photo ops), through the rainforest (http://www.stlucia.org/activity/rainforest.asp, where we saw a number of waterfalls), stopped briefly at the sulfur springs (pictured above - Alpaca wasn't getting anywhere near that rank smell, http://www.bio.umass.edu/micro/holden/fieldsites/stlucia04.html) and two snorkeling stops, including one at Marigot Bay (http://www.marigothill.com/en/).
