Soccer in St. Lucia
Filed under: Culture, Family, Photography, Soccer Abroad
Our boy kb recently got married, and for the honeymoon they decided some time on the beach in St. Lucia was mandatory. He was able to snap a few photos of some locals playing soccer St. Lucia style.

Special free-admission days at museums around the country have become a popular and apparently successful marketing tool, but some institutions are becoming more particular about which events they participate in.
