NAURAL BORN ST JOHNIAN

Could not resist photographing this new born donkey.  His hair is curly like a lamb. With the rain we have had lately there will be plenty for him to eat.  Merry 340 776-6666  merryvi@aol.com

A River Runs Through It!

Virgin Islanders are happy today!! After more than 9 months with almost no rain St. John more than made up for it today.  It has been raining hard since about 5AM and is still raining, though much lighter.  The brown river  running in front of the Islandia...

SIGNS OF SAN JUAN

   I noticed this sign on the balcony of a house across the street from my hotel in Old San Juan and really had to smile when I checked it out with binoculars.

OUR SHIP HAS COME IN!

 I came home on Sunday afternoon to find this beautiful schooner anchored in Rendezvous Bay in front of my house.  Imagine my surprise when I put the binoculars on her and saw the name "Islandia" on the boom.   It would be interesting to meet...

CRUZ BAY ROUNDABOUT

Work continues on the new roundabout in Cruz Bay just down the hill from Islandia Real Estates offices. The intersection has new lanes coming from Centerline Road which is easing some of the congestion from the construction.  So far the project is ahead of schedule...

CRUZ BAY HARBOR

I may be biased but having visited most islands in the Caribbean I still think Cruz Bay has the prettiest harbor of them all.  Next month I will sample 2 new islands - Tobago and Barbados.  If either can beat Cruz Bay for beauty and charm I will let you know. Merry
