What We've Been Up to the Past Month and a Half (St. Croix, St. John, St. Thomas)

 

Cooling our feet in Magens Bay after our hike with Nancy & Mike (Lost Loon)

Magens Bay Trail Nature Preserve

We walked up on the road to Northside Grind at Flamboyan Resort for breakfast (very tasty -  I highly recommend) and then hiked back down to the beach on the Magens Bay Trail.

Sandy Point Nature Preserve, St. Croix

The final scene in The Shawshank Redemption was filmed at Sandy Point Beach, St. Croix, the largest beach in the Virgin Islands.

We enjoyed great SCUBA diving and snorkeling in the clear waters off Fredericksted.

Lovango Cay - the wind blown look! It was very windy the whole time Bob & Beth were visiting.

One of the many beautiful alleyways in Charlotte Amalie.  Sadly, most of the stores and restaurants are closed because of no cruise ships.
