An Island Hopping Adventure

We flew Northwest to St Lucia, the ‘Helen of the

West.’ A beautiful island with lush green
mountains. They boast the ‘Pitons,’ two towering

mountains springing from the coast. Their famous

beer, the Piton, is named after the peaks.

We bypassed the French colony/departments and
journeyed straight to Dominica, ‘The Nature Isle.’

I had to stop him there and tell him that my mom

was from Dominica but came to Montserrat as a

child of only 5 years. He said, ”Oh really that is

nice.”

He said Dominica is more of a natural type of

island and that there is not that much to see but

it’s lush greenery and its hills. It is absolutely

beautiful. I told him that one of these good days I
would really like to visit my mom’s place of birth.

My dad and I next stop was Montserrat, after

passing the French territory of Guadeloupe.
