Love the cards and the information about st. Lucia ... island and parrot. .... song ...... Happy PFF!
They are such pretty birds! I would love to visit "the islands" someday and see them in person, but probably never will. I love the map and history you give - I always learn something new. Like I had no idea they didn't earn their independence from the UK until 1979!
Happy PFF!
