St. John Arrival

Thu 20 Dec - What a long day of traveling! Just found out my cell phone doesn't work here on St. John (but it seemed to work briefly on St. Thomas). I didn't get a chance for too many good shots yet. I had to hold the luggage on the ferry and taxi, so that got in the way, plus it was dark by the time I arrived at Maho Bay anyway.

Boat in St. Thomas Bay

St. John (a really populated part - most of the island is not like this)

Boat in St. John Cruz Bay

(it looks brighter in the photo than it really was...
it's actually close to dusk here)

(here too)

It was dark by the time I arrived at Maho, but here's the restaurant decorated for xmas...

Ok, first impressions... I like it... there are lots of cats here! Some of them are timid and some of them are friendly. And they're prowling up and down the walkways everywhere!

Maho Bay is a cool place... it's exactly like walking around inside Riven (if you know that game)... especially with all the birds and insects here at night... it's the only sound you hear for the most part... very peaceful.

All of the following blurry photos are me being stupid and trying to hold a camera at night without a tripod (I didn't want to use the flash, so as to not disturb anyone or frighten the tree lizards).
