St. John Revisited

We took the car ferry $50 roundtrip to St. John on Friday. Less expensive than renting a Jeep for the day and a pleasurable experience to enjoy the beautiful views while being transported in our own car...

besides swimming at Trunk Bay, we went to the #1 spot on Trip Advisor, Our Market Smoothies...

they were out of Passion Fruit and Guava so I went with the Mango, Banana, Strawberry..

$7 for a large. Bio-degradable containers have not made it down here...

it is a shame to serve these great Smoothies, just fresh fruit and ice, in styrofoam, but otherwise Our Market Smoothies totally deserves to be #1.

Below is a picture of Hawksnest Bay just to break things up. It is much more beautiful than this...

Lunch was at #4 on Trip Advisor: De' Coal Pot...

He Who Likes Virginia Better Than The Virgin Islands tried their signature cocktail: Spiced Rum, Soursop Juice with a 'dollop' of Cruzan Blackstrap Rum on top. He liked it so much, the first thing he did upon arrival back in St. Thomas was to buy a bottle of Cruzan Blackstrap Rum...

I went with the Rum Punch. It did pack a punch....

My Veggie Delight $14.95 was phenomenal. I think those patties might have been fried Eggplant. I couldn't identify what they were made of, I will ask next time...

While walking Molly in the morning I noticed some unusual fruits growing along the ground...

then I saw the Passion Flowers. So cool. I tried growing Passion Fruit in Virginia but could never get the fruit to set before the frost came. Definitely gotta plant some of these vines here.

Lots more to come. Bye for now.
