around the island by my sister Gloria.

Mural on King Street
Buck Island from Point Udall, East End.
What we called Grassy Point now has a house on it!
Colorful outfits hanging at one of the vendors' booth.
When I was growing up on St. Croix this was 7 Flags Bar & Restaurant.  For years it was abandoned.  
Now it's been renovated & looks great!  On the corner of Strand and Hill Streets.
Freedom
Strand Street. St. Patrick's Church steeple can be seen.
Time to leave again.  Parting is such sweet sorrow!
Leaving the pier!
More art work.  A few pieces around the ship appeared to be "cracked"
due to the way constructed.  See the legs in the photo at left.

As I was posting these photos, I realized I did not take a photo with Gloria.  Too bad!  What was I thinking?

For more photos of St. Croix, you can go to the St. Croix pages under US Virgin Islands.
Happy 60th Birthday!
Strand Street from the ship.   The "white" object you see, indicated by yellow box with arrow, is a distortion caused
by the sun, which was setting.  It's the steeple of the Lutheran Church which is on Hill St.

More of Strand Street.
The north side of St. Croix.  The tip of the island, unfortunately, was cut off.  Two photos merged to create the effect.
As a young boy, I'd sit in the park on Strand Street or on the old pier and watch the ships come and go imagining
what it'd be like to take a cruise.   I thank God for allowing me to take this many cruises!
Frederiksted, St. Croix, you will be missed dearly till I get to visit again.
Adventure of the Seas
Strand Street.
The red crane over my head is part of what we called the
Old Pier/Dock.  Boats filled with cargo would come to the
pier and the crane would bring the goods up to the pier.
