Jalousie Bay, St. Lucia

It's been such an AWFULLY HOT week!! So inhumanly hot! Some say that this has been like the hottest week all summer....which is really unusual since it is like the end of August and the sun shall not be as strong as it was in July for example....but well, the world has gone crazy and the weather as well....I need to think of means of survival for next week if this hot tendency continues...

well, before I get carried away with some stuff i have planned for today, lets post some cards along with the morning coffee.
My first card comes from Mandy who is lucky to live on this beautiful island of St. Lucia...im pretty sure that the heatwaves there are not as harsh as here...and you can always just go for a swim...

Now this may not be my very first card from St. Lucia...there is one over here Glenn surprised me with few years ago...but this one here is my first written and stamped one from this country!! Yayyy!!!Well, I received it months ago..but you know the lazy me....
My previous card was about Marigot Bay, and this one here shows the Jalousie Bay....quite a lot of bays there :)
 And this Jalouise Bay is situated between the Pitons....no not the snakes (that was the first association i had at first too..) But the Pitons are actually two volcanic plugs, the Gross and the Petite Piton, and...they are a UNESCO whs!! So, this card is like an *almost* UNESCO whs...but I dont think the Pitons are sufficiently visible so that I label this as UNESCO....or can I? well, I will be waiting for a confirmation from someone who is much better in identifying UNESCO sites than me...really, they can be so confusing coz one item in the UNESCO list may consist of a bunch of places...and not always you may know what exactly falls under a certain place...hence I can never fill in my UNESCO list properly....

Mandy used a 2005 stamp coming from a set of 14 fruiting trees' stamps, with this one showing a Custard Apple.
Thank you sooo much again Mandy!!

Marigot Bay, St. Lucia

It sucks to have a cold...in the middle of the summer...to feel like being ran over by an express Münich-Belgrade train...im also starting to think that i might have a hay-fever as well, or some other sort of allergy since my nose keeps getting irritated very easily and i keep sneezing and feeling an annoying itch....and why am i actually rambling this in the first place....just excuse me if my posts seem absent-minded....i just feel that way...

St. Lucia....another country ticked off the list...honestly, i have no idea whats the exact number so far, since i have a few unposted as well, and i think i somewhat got lost in all this country-counting...so i dont know if there will be a contest for the 200th received country :D
Being in the West Indies, it surely seems like one of those 'heavenly places on Earth...speaking of West Indies...there was this time at work, i was working on some text and it had the West Indies mentioned...and i actually didnt know that it referred to the Caribbean...i even had to re-check in the dictionary afterwards, just not to make a fool of myself and say something wrong...
Well...Marigot Bay is a bay...well, of course it is a bay...in the Caribbean, located in the west coast of St. Lucia.It is surrounded on three sides by steep, emerald-colored hills.

It is famed as the setting for the 1967 film version of Hugh Lofting's classic Doctor Dolitle books. The bay is used for the scenes involving the shipwreck, the fictional Great Pink Sea Snail and the construction of the harness for the Giant Lunar Moth.
So, if you have watched the movie, then you know what im talking about....if you havent (like me) then you are probably not familiar with it..,but at least i learned something :)

And lest i not forget....thank you Glenn for the card! :)
