Day 4...Arrrrgggg it's off to St. Thomas me boy!!!

We pulled into port early this morning and again, I was the first one up. Had to wake Helen so she could see the amazing harbor. After a quick breakfast, went through US immigration and headed off the ship to grab a taxi. The taxis are converted pickup trucks with bench seats in the back, very safe...very an insurance nightmare. We raced through the streets of St. Thomas to Black Beards Hill. Here is where Black Beard had his last fight and lost. And he's dead now...of course. This place was really awesome. They had bronze statues of famous and real pirates all over the place, plus historic houses and the famed 99 steps. We walked down them. I counted them. There are actually 103. A drunken pirate must have counted them first.

Ok this picture needs no explanation. It's a Rastifarian...with a donkey....the donkey is wearing lipstick, sunglasses and it's hoofs were painted red....and the Bob Marly want-a-be was kissing his...er...donkey for people to take pictures. Simple?Random? You be the judge.

After watching "Eh Mon" romancing his mule, we shopped a little in the flea market, got some good deals and then caught a taxi to Emerald Beach. VERY nice, very clean water! Swam, laid out and snorkeled....and watched the jets take off and land...at the airport....right next door. Talk about paradise.

After a great dinner we went to the Marriage Game Night Show thingy. VERY funny, but I am glad Helen and I weren't up there...I may have ended up sleeping on the balcony!
