A couple videos from St. Thomas

This first video is of a $19,000 watch at the Hublot store in downtown St. Thomas.  We'd heard from someone at the hotel about this and I went to check it out.  It's on display on a podium with security sensors that cause it to drop down and disappear very quickly if anything comes near it (like someone's fingers!)  The guys in the store were very laid-back and kind with me when I asked them if I could record this :)

This video is of the steel drummer hippie island man that was my entertainment (along with two beers during happy hour) while I waited for the ticket office to open for the ferry back to St. Thomas from St. John.  He really set the vibe :)

St. Thomas Photo Album from Facebook

In an effort to share photos sooner than later...

St. Thomas: Part I

St. Thomas was wonderful!  We have a lot of photos to share, so I'll try to do it in little bits...

The patio off our room

1 of 5 pools at the resort

I thought zumba and beach vball looked fun, but never made it happen...  I tried the vball once, but there was a $5 rental fee for a ball and I had no one to play with :(

Walkway to one of the two beaches on property

passing the tennis courts

I love this picture.  I can feel the stress melting away for him :)

The girl working at the paddle boat rental booth had this cute little puppy :)

We took a paddle boat out for a stroll

Iguanas were everywhere.

Brian joked that it must be prayer time :)

One of five bars at the resort

Xtra-Tuff Boots

These are Xtra-Tuffs.  Basically, they're ugly brown waterproof boots that EVERYONE wears.  Men, women, children - everyone walks around town in these boots.  It's kind of funny to me that no one seems to think anything of the fact that everyone has the same footwear during the rainy season!  

So, of course we had to get some, too.  :)

Bring on the rain!
