Wednesday & Thursday- St. Thomas Relaxing

Wednesday we relaxed and snorkeled!





A rare underwater picture of Beth-Anne.



These guys would move with the current of the waves and go from coral area to coral area and feed on it.



A very cool sea-something-or-other. It would slip back inside it's hole if we got too close.



Can you see it?



This little guy is very colorful and active! Matthew had to hunt him for awhile to get this.



In the evening Matthew snorkeled and I sat on the beach. It’s really very relaxing. Speaking of which, that is what I am doing now. Only it is not the evening but just after 4pm. He is snorkeling, and probably disturbing many fish and crabs as he hunts them with his camera lens. But I get to enjoy relaxing here, and the pictures later! It’s a good life. Kind of makes me feel like the idle rich. =)



Here is another beautiful sunset at Sapphire Beach.

Thursday was our day to go out to eat and have some time to shop/look around the town of Red Hook. Finally we have figured out the taxi system (sort of) and got a cheaper ride into town. We have mostly been walking because it isn’t the far, and to taxi in is $8! So that’s $16.00 a trip! We decided walking was worth it, but on Thursday we caught a safari (another type of taxi) and got into town for $2.00. That’s what we’re talking about!



Here are a few of the lizards that live around the area. These are sizeable larger than the ones that grace our deck, but they are there none-the-less.



We had lunch at the East End Café and it was really good! We had thought about trying another restaurant on Friday, but after eating here (and seeing their prices) we decided to come back on Friday. We ended up walking back to the resort (no safaris in sight) and were ready for water after that!



Now the food may not look very good here, but I assure you that it was very good.
