Harmony of the Seas

Our first stop was the island of St Thomas. It was our only rainy day

The rain caused many people to return to the ship - not us	We planned a snorkeling excursion - we would be wet anyway

And the rain stopped!







They saw lots of fish and turtles in the crystal clear water
That Was Fun	The next day - on to another island



We thought we would travel to see the "Brimstone Hill Fortress - The Gibraltar of the West Indies"

But we opted to stay in town and absorb the local culture


I had to be TAUGHT how to put on this 2 piece $5.00 outfit The "pants" are created when you follow the instructions and wrap the one piece of material correctly See photo at right

	The Virgin Islands are a shopping mecca for jewelry Many women on the ship were looking forward to the "great prices" Carrie and I visited the stores and they really did give both of us FREE the items at left plus additional tiny sample stones. I think it would be fun to collect the charms of the other ports if and when we sail those itineraries While we did pass on the expensive jewelry we did support the local economy with T-shirts, mugs, placemats etc.
