You probably have a picture of the Caribbean--banana trees, colorful tropical flowers, brilliant birds. It's not a picture that's accurate for some islands but, in St. Lucia, it's reality.

Here orange, lime, lemon, mango (over 100 varieties, we learned), breadfruit, plum, and coffee trees cover the landscape. Pineapples sprout alongside the highway. Spices like vanilla, nutmeg, and cinnamon grow in thick profusion.

The famous sights are the Pitons, mountains located in the southwest region of the island. Gros Piton, the shorter but fatter of the two, and Petit Piton are among the Caribbean’s most recognizable landmarks.
