7. Television Back St Lucian children spend a small proportion of their time watching the TV because they tend to live an outdoor lifestyle. During the rainy season it is too wet to play outside, so the children amuse themselves by watching TV. Many homes have satellite dishes.

8. Church Back The Roman Catholic church plays a big part in the lives of St Lucians. 79% of the population are Catholics. Every Sunday the whole family attend Mass. This is a time to wear their best clothes. Photo courtesy of www.thealabamabaptist.org

9. Coconuts Back Local boys climb trees for coconuts. They can also make money from tourists by demonstrating their climbing skills. The husk needs to be removed and a hole smashed into the shell to drink the sweet coconut liquid inside.
