Until I can upload pics, this is just a quick synopsis of what I have done.

Arrived Friday - went to dinner with Jeanine and Sal to Dashi restaurant in the Caravelle Arcade. Had oysters, soup and sashimi and white wine. Superb!
Saturday -
Sunday - went to Buck Island. Took dramamine as the water was bobbing the boat pretty badly on the way there. After anchoring, the aquamarine waters were still. We ate and drank, although I drank Coke after that first glass of champagne.
Monday - Went with Sal to do his errands. 5 hours just at the Department of Revenue. What a mess they have with accounting. Tony got back from Tortola and his racing boat; got 3rd place. Had a run-in with some drunk who broke a beer bottle across his eyes, breaking his glasses and gashing open his eyebrow area...got 18 stitches. Has black and blue eyes now. Went to his new boat, the motor one. Pretty nice. Watched the seaplanes.
Tuesday - Went with Ellen to Fredericksted and ate at Polly's. Then drove the beach road up the northwest area until it ended. Found sea fans, shells. Rocky beach, sandy beach. Stopped at Rhythms at Rainbow Beach and had a Pina Colada. Then went to the southeast area to look for the not there flamingos. We did see other birds and iguanas and a very nice beach. Went to a wine tasting party. 1 sparkling wine from Washington and 3 reds from California. Each one accompanied by a mini meal.
Wednesday - went to the Agricultural Center's fair. Got to chat with women at each table, learning of the individual plants, flowers, fruits, herbs. Miss Gloria was awesome, so was the Rasta woman and all she made. Got to chat with her about babies. The beekeeper as well. Trying to make some friends. Stopped at St Joseph's High to take a pic or 2. Homeless guy sleeping on the church's steps. Stopped at St George's Botanical Garden just to check out the gift shop for some Christmas shopping. Picked up Chris at the airport. He is the fireworks guy. Took him to the hotel. Went to Tony and Ellen's place for dinner with Jeanine and Sal.
Thursday - went with Miss Veronica to the rain forest and hiked up river. Got coconuts cut and drank water, brought another to Jeanine. Also got her some Gatorade. Went to Tony's boat but no longer needed help. Back to Sal's, picked him up and took him to the boat parade meeting where we ate with Tony and Ellen, then to the marina, checked out some boats then went into the restaurant and had dessert.
