Harbor View
St Thomas Police
Monday, March 22nd
Arrived in St. Thomas, Virgin Islands. The US purchased the Virgin Islands from the Dutch the 1950’s. Many countries have flown their flag over these islands. The capital is Charlotte Amalie, which was our port. The island is 32 square miles with a population of 56,000. St. Thomas is mainly known for its shopping. There are many tax and duty free stores. If you are looking for anything from liquor to jewelry to high end products, this is the place! Most of the day was spent looking at the stores and seeing the downtown area. Chris was looking for a pearl necklace, however did not see what she wanted. Rick ended up buying a camera lens. We stopped for a bite to eat and sample the local ale. We continued back towards the ship and made a stop at the US Virgin Islands PD and met Charlotte Fleming. She was most gracious and traded patches with Rick. Charlotte has a collection of approximately 200 patches from all over the world, none from San Bruno until now! We came back to the ship to again cool off as the temperature was again in the 90’s.
We had another good meal with our tablemates with Glenn and Donna celebrating their anniversary. The evening entertainment was at the pool with “Rocking Under The Stars”, some good music and singing by various crewmembers.
