Travel Photo Thursday
Over attravelFREAK, I wrote about my hot experience in the Caribbean, on hot May Days, during the hot St. Lucia Jazz Festival. Did I mention it was hot??

Jazz Festival food. Each island community serves up food.
Cannot live by music alone.
And when we return to East Winds Inn, the music continues with a Steel Drum band on the beach.

It looks like everyone was having a great time. Good music, good food; what more could you ask for? Oh yes, and the heat and sunshine

Yep. You got it. Hot. But then I imagine you’re used to that kind of hot. (I bought a hot yellow t-shirt to remind me of the sun on that day.)
Hot jazz in the hot Caribbean — love it! My idea of a great time.
Some like it hot, some not so hot! I’m in between when it comes to weather.

Ah, Dick. that’s why island heat is so good–there’s always a cool dip in the ocean to cool you off.
What a fun experience that looks to be!! Happy New Year!!

Thanks for visiting, Red. I was very happy to discover your site which is loaded with great writing and photos.
The jazz festival looked relaxed and “hot”. I bet the food was as amazing as the music.

Yes, Jan, the food was great. I was berating myself, though for not having notes about exactly WHAT was being served. Guess I was too busy eating!
All these pictures of warm islands is making me wish summer would hurry up! I can only imagine how wonderful a jazz festival would be in St Lucia.

St. Luica is one of the islands my son has in his sights for a destination wedding – but in November so it shouldn’t be quite as hot.I don’t do hot really well but a jazz festival would be fun.

I highly recommend the beautiful grounds of East Winds Inn for a wedding! And for a honeymoon, there are so many gorgeous resorts it is hard to choose.
Looks like one hot – literal and figurative – party!
