I knew something was off... a goon within 150 miles. Spending the whole time in St Lucia, or coming to a good island?

I have decided, after a couple days of driving and getting used to the island way of driving here, that I want to become a rallycross driver

I think the police here just got their first breathalizer, but so far it's still in the box. edit: Seen anyone out and about with a big-rear end cutlass yet? fins fucked around with this message at 05:31 on May 18, 2019 |

Yesterday I ate a Kassava Cake. Very good, and gluten free. Considering the GF craze in the US, I'm surprised it's not a more well known item back home.

Hijackin this thread to tell random stories of caribbean life. A few years ago a friend was walking down the street, got stopped by a tourist asking where he could buy weed. Sounds kinda normal, except said friend is a lawyer and having just left court, was wearing a three piece suit and carrying a briefcase. Car wise, the test for roadworthiness is a little less comprehensive than other places, but takes almost as long. First , you wait in a long as line, drive up , turn on your lights, turn on your indicators, honk your horn, use your windshield wipers, press your breaks and yor done,. Police dude writes down various things on a scrap of paper. You park up on the side of the road somewhere and join another line. Another police officer takes the paper, asks you some more questions and fills in a form. You then go back to the first dude for him to sign it. You then drive to a governement office is the middle of town (with 0 parking) and join another line. This one tends to stretch from the 2nd floor, down the stairs and out into the street. If you want to wait an extra hour make sure your visit coiincides with lunch. When you get to the front of the line, you wait for the person to find your registration from the giant pile of filing cabinets behind them. You pay them whatever, then join another line, where yet another police officer checks your insurance certificate and gives you a sticker. You then spend between 5 and 45 minutes scraping off last years sticker from inside your windshield (whatever glue they is so drat strong after a year curing in the caribbean sun) and put on the new one, and you are done.

Man this is cool to see pics of that place twenty years later. Back in the day we stayed at the resort just south of the Pitons and did some exploring in the forested area between where you are and there. After, we took a helicopter back to the airport. I know what you mean by the driving... I wouldn't be surprised if there was a car horn on the helicopter by now.

I don't know if I'll ever come back here-- if life will ever bring me back, but if it doesn't, I take solace in sharing this stuff with all y'all and having all the pictures. Together, I hope they'll keep this place in the special part of my goony heart.
