We have been serving our mission for almost two and a half years now and have not taken time to see many of the beauties of the West Indies. So we are trying to spend a few hours here and there with the senior couples and share their favorite sights. Today we drove with the Hattons to see a little of St Vincent and then got to finish the day with a baptism in the sea - perfect!
Driving in St Vincent is scenic but challenging
Sister Hatton told me that Elder Hatton has been in the ditch four times during their mission - just like this poor car we passed!
We passed gorgeous vistas and little hidden beaches
Our first stop was Wallilabou Bay - where Pirates of the Carribean was filmed. Do you recognize this distinctive rock from the first movie?
We stopped to see the Layou petroglyphs - aren't they amazing? I have seen petroglyphs all over the West Indies and in Alaska, Hawaii, and Utah - all of them very similar - so odd.
We passed a long wooden waterpipe stretching for miles.
Elder Hatton called this leak the 'drive by car wash'
Our final stop was Dark View Falls - gorgeous!
To get there we had to cross this bamboo bridge
Sister Hatton is a pro
We climbed through a bamboo forest
Until we caught our first glimpse of the falls
It was definitely worth the effort
I was surprised when the Hattons said there were even more falls up above. We hiked up and were rewarded by this
