St. Thomas

Blackbeard was 6'4" and over 300 lbs. His tower is
in the background. His castle is to the right. There are
99 steps to get down to the beach level. We actually went
down them with a guide who showed us plants, houses, and
shared the history of the area.

Lots of small island inhabited and not around the main island.

This island is a USA territory. They would like to a state,

but are too small. They cannot vote.

The best beach is Megen's beach and we spent half a day there.
At the beach, Dave is walking the shore. We played in the

water until we wrinkled. It is slightly warm and nice.
This is a picture with our ship in the background.

This was a pretty island, but very commercialized. We spent the day touring Blackbeard's castle, shopping(but it rained so much, this was out) and at the beach because it wasn't raining there.

I've been waiting to see your pictures! The boys were highly impressed that you got to see where Blackbeard lived. It looks like so much fun:)
