St. Lucia

From the http://www.VideoSource.com Global Village Travel Guide and DVD, "Caribbean". Stock footage available from http://videosource.com/search.html Transcript: St. Lucia too, is a rich, fertile island densely covered in rain forest. It was originally settled by the French but was taken by the British in 1803. Today it is an independent nation with English the official language...But the influence of the French endures, reflected in the island's fine creole cuisine and lilting patois spoken by the local population. St. Lucia has one of the Caribbean's most striking natural sights, the Pitons, two half-mile-high, jungle-covered volcanic peaks that rise dramatically from the sea. Nearby Marigot Bay is a popular site for movie makers, including the setting for Dr. Doolittle, appropriately marked by a resort named after the animal-loving veterinarian. Marigot Bay is a great place for watersports, from windsurfing to sailing.
