Where is St Lucia/Lucian and what's it like there?

🇱🇨Saint Lucia changed hands of ownership between England & France 14 times!! Lol yes a whopping 14 times (7 times France, 7 times England) until England eventually won. But there is still many remnants of French influence that can be found like in our Kwèyól (Creole) language for example. We gained independence on February 22, 1979. We’re a volcanic island and you can even explore the Sulphur Springs where the (mostly inactive I hope🤣) volcano is. The drive in Sulphur Springs is one of our main tourist attractions along with our beautiful mountain peaks The Pitons. And if you like hiking you can tackle the Petit Piton and the more difficult Gros Piton. Like most islands we have our cultural events and our yearly carnival which is super lit 💃🏾✨🪅🎊🌴🇱🇨 Lots of great food especially fresh seafood and there are weekly fish frys you can attend in different parts of the island. There’s more I could mention but that’s a little quick summary for you 👍🏾❤️ 🏝️

Take a bow, West Indies!

Shamar Joseph - a security guard with 4 first-class match experience, got his toe split open yesterday and came and won it for his team. Unbelievable!

Brian Lara and Carl Hooper were in tears. And Adam Gilchrist and Ian Smith were happy for them. So beautiful to see.

WI just beat England in the undergoing Under-19 World Cup 2024. They've now beat Australia in Australia in Tests. And they beat India some time ago in T20I. Not qualifying for World Cup 2023 was a blow but I hope they take these wins as inspiration to take their cricket forward. Phenomenally spirited and inspiring performance today.
