Crash!

The waves on the north side of St Thomas (and the rest of the islands I imagine) have been pretty violent last week.  This picture is from the eastern point of Hull Bay.

Lounging by the Pool

An adorable bulldog that we're dog-sitting for over the holidays lounging by her backyard pool.

Pelicans On A Perch

A couple of pelicans sitting on a perch and preening themselves before flying off to catch another fish.

Hiking Reef Bay

I haven't been over to St John in a while, so yesterday I went to do a hike on the Reef Bay Trail.  The trail has been mangled a bit by all of the rain during Hurricane Otto and the storms after.  Large portions of the trail were tangled with deep guts and there was a bit more scrambling over rocks than the last time.

Boat Parade

Another shot of the Miracle On Main Street boat parade.  You can see the line of boats circling around in the background.

Merry Christmas

As part of the Miracle on Main Street celebration, they have a boat parade right in the harbor.  A bunch of boats get lit up and cruise in a big circle along the water front, throwing out candy to the spectators.  Merry Christmas!

Miracle On Main Street

This was my first time to Miracle On Main Street - a street fair held every year in downtown Charlotte Amalie.  They keep all of the shops open (which are normally only open during the day when cruise ships are in town) and have steel drum bands, food and a boat parade (pictures of that coming tomorrow).
