I recently came back from an amazing  and much needed vacation in St. Lucia!  FIVE beautiful days of paradise and non-stop fresh-off-the-tree coconut water as well as many delicious fruits and sweets Mother Nature had to offer.  I had my first encounter of “Jungle M&Ms“, as noted and many thanks to our tour guide, Al, a St. Lucian native.  Cacao straight off the tree!  I was in sheer amazement– I mean, it’s not every day we here  in America are able to pull something straight off of tree and eat it (ESPECIALLY in NYC)!  Take a look:

And naturally during my down time, enjoying the Caribbean air I hunkered down and went over my lines for my **NEW** role as Marian Paroo in The Music Man set to run this May!  Make sure to look for updates here!
