The Pink Plantation gardener
Our first stop is the Pink Plantation, a 160-year former plantation house (painted pink) and restaurant, surrounded by tropical gardens and an art studio where silkscreened craft items are created. The gardener gives us an informative tour of the native plants (who knew they grow avocados here the size of coconuts). It’s all quite lovely, and made us wish we had time to stay for lunch on the veranda overlooking the harbor area. Photos/Video: North Palm Beach Life |

North Palm Beach Life December, 2019. Today finds us on the green, lush and tropical island of St. Lucia. Renowned for its natural beauty, it’s features rain forests, volcanic springs and the famous "Pitons," that rise from the sea. We'll be taking a tour -- "St. Lucia Splendor." Let's go!

Next we visit the quaint fishing village of Anse la Raye. They say if you want the best local fish, this is the
place. Fishing boats old and new hug the sandy shoreline while chickens run free in the streets.

Pam had time to do some shopping. For a change, so did I -- buying a bottle of one of the local favorites, Banana Ketchup. Pretty tasty! |
