The hits keep on comin’. I am also WAY behind in my blogging so bear with me. Photos taken again by the amazing Risa Merl.
This is the dock at Marigot Bay. I grew up in New Mexico, so being on a boat isn’t something that is second nature to me (read: dealing with sea sickness). Regardless, my new friends (all boating journalists) gave me crash course on boating.
We were only at Marigot Bay for one night and then moved to this villa at Cotton Bay. It literally looked like the Real World house- think Hamptons share but in St. Lucia and sicker digs.
A picture of our pool at Cotton Bay. The beach was two steps away.
Every morning I would get up at around 6:30 am to go running. Ok, yes on a typical day I DO get up early, but it would get so hot in St. Lucia by 7:00am you had no choice but to get up at the crack and get moving. Risa left this totally cute note for me- I would go running then come grab her for beach time. On this particular morning, she motivated before I got back!
See that hill in the distance? Yeah, that’s where I would go running. It was SO gorgeous but desolate. My paranoid self could not stop thinking about Natalie Holloway. I know, I know… I need to stop watching Law & Order…
The other hill I would go running up. My running playlist consisted of Peter Tosh, Grateful Dead and The Buena Vista Social Club.
Ha! Part of a real deal rocket booster from a space shuttle (not sure which one) fell into the ocean and washed up on the shore. So nuts.
Had to laugh at the pic of the space shuttle part. I was there at the beach literally 10 days ago and had a chuckle when I saw it. Been back in England for 4 days now but I can still see/feel/smell/hear everything about St Lucia. 4th time I have been to S,L but am planning to visit alot lot more in the future. My daughter (8 years old) and I thought we saw Amy Winehouse riding a horse in the seawater at Cotton bay so of course she demanded that we ran along the beach to get her autograph…Alas was not her..just a lookalike. Must say that area of cotton bay is absolutely beautiful. Looking out to sea on the right hand side of the beach you may have noticed a development of cottages and terraced villas being built? That is our friends who are building there. So guess that is where will have to spend a lot of time when we are not staying with relatives on the east coast. Must say one thing tho ..as lovely as cotton bay is; Marigot bay was an absolute knockout. That is where we enjoyed the best days of our three and a half week holiday
