St Lucia: Thursday-Saturday

We flew in Thursday afternoon around 2:30pm and then it was an hour and half drive in traffic to our resort...that was a very long drive after over 12 hours of traveling. Then we made it! Thursday, Friday, and Saturday we just hung out at the beach and Trent showed me around the island.
Our Room...
 Our bathroom had holes in the wall. They had screens over them but you could see people walking outside and stuff while you were showering which was kinda weird haha
 This was our view from the whole in the shower wall...not bad!
This was our view from our bedroom! It was gorgeous!
 First things first we went to the beach!
 We were lucky to have a private beach so it was never that crowded which was so nice.
 This was our little car...which I was so glad that it was small. Driving in St Lucia is insane!
St Lucia is so poor. I kept waiting for us to go somewhere that had nice houses or nice stores but they were no where to be found...here are some pictures of the houses and shops they have...
Most houses are built on stilts and they hang their clothes underneath them to dry.
This made me laugh because it says 'President Suite' and then there is that poor little broken house...
 
One of the things I wanted to do there was get fresh fruit from one of the fruit stands. We got mangos and plums.  
These are what they call plums. They are really small but they were pretty good. They didn't taste anything like what plums are like here. It cost me $2 EC for that bag of plums. One US dollar is 2.6 EC. So it cost me less then $1 for them. Crazy!
We went to this restaurant called Razmataz and got some Indian curry, a popular food they have in the Caribbean. It was delicious! 
 These crabs are all over the beaches. Their eyes are so weird haha. They dig these perfectly round holes to hide in and they also by burying themselves in the sand and poke their eyes out haha
We spent a lot of time at the beach! 
Beautiful!
