Just got back from our annual trip to stj! It was breezy and cool at night with some sporadic rain events. that said, the island was very green and beautiful. We stayed on our lot in coral bay up the hill from Skinny Legs.
Rented our jeep this year from Conrad Sutton..in spite of the bad press he has received from some we had no problems at all. We did a lot of exploring and tried not to get seduced into staying put and just taking in the view of poppilou bay and hurricane hole.
Went to lameshur, yeah the road is mostly ponds separated by occational humps of dry land..The beach was great it has a place to grill and 'bathroom facillities'.It's always goodd to get those framed pics thru the windows of the ruins there.
Skinny legs for our first meal is a rittual for us ..We split the blue cheese burger and were glad we did..Skinnies has been really 'discoverred and was so crowded the next few times we visited that we went to Pickles and Oasis instead. They actually had tour busses from the westin..oh well..
Monday afternoon is open mike at Concordia and met up with our niece fron stt. Really tallented musicians the food was great and the views are always beautiful. Get there before 4 parking is slim.
Cinnamon bay was as rough as we could remember no beach just waves and wind. The little museum had some interesting exhibits.
haulover south is our favorite..the drive alone is an experience in itself unfortunantly the roads on the east end have really gone to hell there are big deep pot holes everywhere.
Vies sadly is still closed but there is a group closer to sloop jones who is trying to gt something going.
The chicken poppulation has exploded in coral bay! little chicks everywhere and of course the roosters have to tell you about themselves even at odd hours at night the one on our street sounded like his battery had worn down a little and was just making an effort..
Well my writing skills were never good and I'm not computer literate enough to post the always beautiful pictures but St. john still has the magic and we'll probably come back this summer.
