We met with the government vet yesterday morning to officially get Luna her import permit. She is now "officially" permitted to put her nose in all the local bushes. We'll see how people react to dogs here in St. Lucia. So far, there have been a lot of people going out of their way to avoid her, which reminds me a bit of Antigua.

I ran into our good friend Brad (s/v Lady Angelie) this morning while Luna and I had a walk. His boat is getting work done at the marina and as coincidence would have it, a man working for him stopped to chat with me and Luna, found out I was from NC and said the captain of his boat was also from there. I didn't put two and two together until Brad yelled at us as we walked past his slip on a road that runs parallel to the docks. It is truly a strange feeling hearing "Hey, Elizabeth!" while walking down a road in a foreign country where you know absolutely no one. Gary, the worker was delighted at having facilitated a connection since he told Brad about me and then pointed me out as Luna and I walked past the docks. Brad said, "Wait, I know her and her dog!". That was a great surprise and we'll look forward to seeing more of him while we're here.
