We were very impressed with the interior of this Cathedral that we saw in Castries. It had been built in 1899 and is the largest in the Caribbean. The detailed drawings on the ceiling were amazing.

The church in St. Anne’s was much simpler than the one in St. Lucia but the roof construction was very impressive.

It was great to have a chance to get together with our friends Lynn & Steve from Celebration and Denise and Jean-Pierre from Absaroque while in St. Anne, Martinique.
