Saint Vincent

We took a walk around the port town of Kingstown, St.Vincent the second day. Two churches were the points of most interest architecturally. The first church was St George's Cathedral and it was Anglican. The space was bright and open but the highlight was the baby goat ( they call it a Lamb) we encountered there. He was adorable and so cuddly! Scott, Memo and I all took turns holding him!

The second church, The Assumption of St. Mary, a Catholic Cathedral across the street was a hidden gem. The Cathedral took 100 years to build and the outside of the building looks very dirty, because the stone is so porous, and it can't be cleaned easily and the elements have really ravaged it over the years. However, the interior courtyards are stunning and the interior space are very nice and intimate. 

We also wandered into some of the shops and found this one in port area that was selling coustums for the next Carnival season. Prices ranged from $2,000 to $3,500 USD and it was hard to pick a favorite.

Somedays are just meant to be beach days, to chill with a friend! First, I did an uber run to nearby Costco in the town of Lihue, where I bought us Tommy Bahama backpack beach chairs! Then we were good to go. Kalapaki beach was just a quick 15 minute walk from the Ship. I realized I did the same thing with my Cousin Cathy , back in 2020, when I was here on my first cruise to Hawaii! Today, I spent the afternoon chilling with good buddy Sherrie Cornett.
