We went to the movies


there is a multi plex here - 7 theaters, first run movies...

Jackie had her regular over-sized vat of popcorn...


And they are even nice enough to provide a place to spend your quarters.

PACKAGES FROM HOME ARRIVED !!!


I got one... Jackie got one...


The contents of one box...
Big jar of yeast and 25 (yes, twenty-five) CUPS of spices.


The contents of the other box...
High heel shoes, scarves, curlers and toiletry items.

Only $11 for a flat rate box... Much as you can fit in a box.  It only sounds like a foreign country, the US Virgin Islands are indeed United States territories, complete with the wonderfully efficient US Postal Service.

Sunflowers and the Winter Olympics

Worn and weary, we left Kansas City at 5 AM today. Arrived in St Thomas just as it started getting dark, and it started to rain.

After a full day of travel, we sat down for dinner at a near by patio bar and grill...

Paulette's Patio

I had the Lamb Shank... Jackie enjoyed a shrimp and pasta

It felt great to sit down. We enjoyed a bit of home with a flower arrangement of Sunflowers (the state flower of Kansas) and we enjoyed the Winter Olympics on the bar TV

But it was 80 degrees!
