Part 3: The US Virgin Islands

Part 2: The US Virgin Islands

There were alot of really neat ruins on St.John. I was really impressed by the sturdiness and quality of some of these buildings even though they are several hundred years old! I wish buildings were built to last like that these days. There were also plenty of hikes there but we only had time to do one which was the Reef Bay Trail. We chose this one because we thought there was going to be a neat waterfall but to our disappointment the waterfall was waterless perhaps because there hasn't been enough rain. But it was all worth it even for free mangos! We came across a mango tree and mangos were falling all over the place. The other neat thing about this hike is there were petroglyphs at the waterfall site. In the end, this hike was worth all the huffing and puffing up and down the steep hills!

By the dried up waterfalls on Reef Bay Trail (St.John).

Me and my obsession with trees and being barefoot in photos...

The petroglyphs.

This mango was especially delicious because it had just fallen off the tree!

Fallen tree or standing tree, I love them all!

This was the fattest hermit crab I have ever seen.

Neat looking spider.

Some more ruins off the trail.

Couples Retreat

We head to the beach every chance we can. As a couple, that is our favorite retreat. A couple friend of our's invited us to go with them to the beach and of course we jumped on board! We shopped, sun-bathed, and ate at an awesome seafood buffet with all you can eat crab legs. We had a blast especially due to the pleasant and fun company! I enjoy my husband's company very much and it is great when it is just me and him, but sometimes additional company can be fun and refreshing. It is a treat to travel with friends and family and we look forward to it.

(And speaking of couples, these lovebirds had a little date on our porch! It was the cutest thing! They would not budge from that spot for a good long time  even when Micah went in and out of the house.)

Miami: Part 3

Leave it to family to point out your fashion faux pas: My sister made me keenly aware that I am wearing Halloween colors. But that's what I get for packing light. I had to work with what I brought with me and even had to borrow this dress from my sister. But oh well, it's no excuse for wasting these pictures! I hope your week is going well =)

Miami: Part 1

We took a mini vacation to Miami this past weekend. It was our first time there and I am so impressed by this beach city! It was beautiful there! The water reminded me of the Cayman Islands and the city had a mini tropical NYC feel to it (except cleaner). I almost felt like I wasn't in the US because it seemed everyone there spoke a different language. If you haven't been to Miami, I highly recommend it! We are already planning to go back.

One of the perks of melting pot cities like Miami is the amazing food! So needless to say, we gorged and gorged some more. The food was great and most meals were followed by Gelato! We ate all sorts of food: Japanese (sushi), Cuban, Thai, Vietnamese, and French food just to name some out of the top of my head.
More pictures coming soon!
