mangroves

Eric's house was far from the center of Castries where he teaches, far from a grocery store, and far from the music school. So one day Mom and Dad and Eric went to look for a new place for him to live. I didn't think that sounded too exciting so I went south from Castries on the bus. My eventual destination was Anse La Ray, where we'd meet up in the evening for the fish fry that happens every Friday. But on the way I stopped at Marigot Bay. It is a little resort town with a nice beach. A restaurant looking out over the bay was right along the water and to get there I had to walk through a grove of mangroves on a boardwalk. They cleverly left a few mangroves growing in the middle of the boardwalk.
