Wu-style Tai Chi Chuan is a martial art founded by Wu Chian Chuan in the late 1800s. Like all types of Tai Chi Chuan, Wu-style focuses not on external power, but on internal strength, generated from calm, balance, and mindfulness. Valerie Boss has a black belt in Wu style and has studied at the Lost Track Kungfu and Tai Chi School in Atlanta for 30 years.  She will lead participants in typical taichi warm up and breathing exercises, and introduce them to a few of the postures characteristic of Wu style. Movements will be slow and not vigorous, with plenty of stretching (and mimosas afterwards). Participants should bring drinking water. Comfortable shirts and pants or shorts (not skirts) are recommended. Sneakers or bare feet are suitable, but not flip-flops.

FRIDAY - Starting at SUNSET (on your own - arrange taxi/Uber)

The Gros Islet street party — perhaps Saint Lucia’s most famous “jump-up”— has taken place weekly for more than 50 years, come rain or shine. Every Friday night starting at sunset, the residents of Gros Islet fire up their barbecues, ice down the Piton beer, set up table-top bars in the streets, and get ready to welcome thousands of enthusiastic revelers to the colorful fishing town’s narrow streets. Arts and crafts vendors lay out their stalls, and the town center becomes DJ central, as a giant sound system cranks up and keeps the street party moving until the early hours of Saturday morning. And be sure to bring your appetite! Gros Islet is lined with sizzling barbecues, grilling everything from zest chicken and pork to the freshest catch, landed just hours before by the town’s fishermen. Local cuisine is the ticket, and the adventurous should look out for the lambi or conch grills on the waterfront, or seasonal seafood favorites like spiny lobster and bwigo (whelks).
