December 27, 2016. Famous St. Thomas beach

LOCATION:  House-sitting in Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands

WEATHER:  Mostly sunny,  Highs about 90

 

St. Thomas has lots of different beach areas, and it is fun to explore different ones.  Today we went to one of the most famous ones called Megan's Bay. This is the view from above, where we saw it last week from Mountain Top (home of the world famous banana daiquiri)

Before we got to the beach, we stopped for lunch at a resort restaurant that had been recommended.  The view from the restaurant of the bay was really pretty, too.  The yacht in the distance is humongous.

We had a nice lunch.  Burgers were half off, so we split one.  We haven't had a burger and fries for months.  Yummy but fattening.  We luxuriated next to the pool.

Then, we headed down to the beach.  It was pretty busy with cruise ship visitors.  (You can spot them because of the "Carnival Cruise Line", etc beach towels that they have purloined.)

 

George is just a "chic magnet" for these  cute beach waitresses.  Even though we were in some type of municipal park, there was a bar with beach girls fetching drinks for folks.

A two-fisted drinker!  

As George checked out the girls, I couldn't help but notice a guy in an absolutely awful swimsuit that looked like this.  

His friends were teasing him about it.  Others just gawked.

 

Back home, we Skyped with a couple in Italy for a potential housesit.  Hope it works out ! 

 

DINNER:  Cold Asian noodle salad with leftover scallops. Refreshing!
