As my dear friend @allenmchastanet said, good friends don’t say ‘goodbye, they say ‘see you again soon.’ I want to thank the people & government of #StLucia for giving our delegation the warmest of welcomes, & I look forward to what the future holds for our friendship. #JFDS2019

Many people would be surprised to learn that #US Founding Father Alexander Hamilton was born right here on #Nevis Island. Our tour of the island today brought us to his birthplace, where we learned how his #Caribbean upbringing led him to become a vanguard of democracy. #JFDS2019
