Tuesday was our day to see the beaches of Saint Thomas. So I put together my cereal
as Seva prepared food
and we packed the valise
and Suzanne packed nuts
and Peter gathered information
before we looked at the sky
and rode the cart down the hill
to the ferry
and rode past this ship
leaving our wake
as we reached the other side
and Suzanne and Seva
and I
got a menu at Tickles
and ordered our coffees (make mine decaf)
before we followed Peter
to the rental car
opened the trunk
adjusted the mirror
and drove on to get pennies (unremarkable, a little too recent)
from this back
as we drove on
past the gas station
until we could order chairs from Wally on Coqi Beach
and against this backdrop
check out the water
before Suzanne settled
and Seva put sun tan lotion on Peter's back
after which we checked out the water
and the 3 snorkelers
convinced me that I wanted to try on the gear
and then came back as I was offered a sample of a drink
and watched the other 3
in front of the backdrops
as Seva led the pack
for group pictures
designed to be photoshopped together and if these don't work here are Peter and Seva
and Suzanne and I making the most of a beach vacation.
On the way away from the beach, I took a picture of Melinda and Neil who were there on a cruise from their hometown off of I-20 in Georgia near Alabama
and then I watched this sign as I washed my feet
so that we could get back in the car
and follow route 35
to the signage
that told us we were at Megan's Bay (one of the 10 most beautiful beaches in the world)
where we recorded the rentals
and took the obligatory phone booth pictures
before observing the prohibitions that made this a good beach.
On the way back from the beach, we stopped at Udder Delight
where we recorded the menu
and then waited in line
for this wonderful drink
that I enjoyed
as Peter and Seva enjoyed theirs
and Suzanne had a last sip of ours
before we headed back and took views of the beach where we'd been from above
|
and then headed back to Tickle's where Tim (who turned out to be a not very responsible person)
brought my beer
and Peter's ale
after which I took this self portrait
and then greeted John our captain
as we showed our tickets
and headed back to Water Island
where the sunset was elegant
as the groceries were assembled for our meal better than what would have been had the night ferry run
and saw the wine
and salads
and cheese
and bread
and other salads that made this a good meal to end a fine beach day.
