Today, surviving buildings have been renovated to serve as Sir Arthur Lewis College ( 758-452-5507), and you can walk around the grounds for a good view north to Pigeon Point and south to the Pitons.

St. Lucia s Carnival is the ultimate multi-day bash. Most official activities take place in and around the capital city of Castries, but warm-up parties and concerts are held all over the island.

Pygmy geckos are only two inches long, and are found only on St. Lucia. Their color can change to various shades of brown to match their surroundings. House geckos hide in dark crevices until nightfall, when they scurry throughout dwellings. They grow to be five inches long, mostly tail. Tree geckos grow to be about six inches long. They have an elongated body, stubby tail, and can change color to blend with the foliage.
