Guadeloupe -
Pointe a Pitre
Late June & Early July
2010
(01-07-2010) Today we walked
into the city of Pointe a Pitre. They do not see many American
tourists. We got to practice using French and managed to get some
good prices on vegetables, spices, fish and lunch! I had to smell
each spice to tell what the English word would be.
 
 
Jacques Cousteau National Park
(28-06-2010) Wow - Guadeloupe is a very, very large
island.... Our first quick overnight stop was at
the Jacques Cousteau National Marine Park (Pigeon Island) on the leeward side. The coral was
healthy and everything was beautiful and flourishing, but we got in late
and were too tired to spend much time underwater. We stayed
overnight on a dive mooring in the lee of a tiny cove. The
bioluminescence was out-of-this-world cool.
