Preparing for a Very Important Guest - The Prince of Wales
There is a lot of activity around Soufriere this week (spring 2008.) Prince Charles, from England, is coming to visit St. Lucia and will spend some time in Soufriere. Though independent, St. Lucia still maintains close ties to England. So everything is getting spruced up for his visit. You see streets being fixed up, everything being washed down, fresh paint on places, decorations going up, and whatever else can be done to present our best "face" for such a special visitor. There is a lot of excitement in the air.
Well, Prince Charles came and visited!! It was a rainy day, but that did not dampen the spirit of the folk one bit. You can see how a community comes alive and an event is a total community experience. That was quite a day. What kinds of events create this kind of community out-pouring and involvement where you live? Do you get that rush of community pride at these events?
