My first day at St. Lucia was so packed with meetings that I did not even eat breakfast and lunch! So many interesting stories to tell about my first day here, such as meeting the Taiwanese ambassador to St. Lucia, oversleeping because of the time difference, and chatting up a storm with fellow participants from all around the world. But I’ve gotta go to bed now because we need to be at the hotel lobby tomorrow at 8am sharp (meaning 7am Washington, DC time!) and it’s almost midnight here and I just got back from the dinner!
Here are a couple of photos of my hotel pool area which is connected to the beach I snapped while waiting for the shuttle bus to take us to the dinner.
