After arriving in the beautiful town of Soufriere last night and enjoying the evening with a few fellow volunteers, we woke up early this morning ready to attack and conquer the majestic peak of Gros Piton. Unfortunately, we found out that due to the heavy rains over the past couple days, the hike would not be happening this weekend. After breakfast we made the best of the situation and looked over the many great options available in Soufriere and decided to go to a local mineral springs.
For the affordable price of $5EC, we walked up the road towards the hills, down through a short track, over a small river and up to the hot springs. This fulfilled a Christmas wish for me....A hot shower...
After bathing and eating lunch, we returned to our friend Jen's apartment here in town and will relax for the rest of this national holiday. coming up this weekend we have a small celebration for a fellow volunteer's Close of Service, then a beach cleanup and bbq with a group of Japanese volunteers who are also working here on St. Lucia. besides that, my weekend will include church and a couple cricket practices in my neighborhood back in Mon Repos.
