Road Town, Tortola - Tuesday, Dec 18, 2007 Noon - 10:00 pm

One of the most consuming things in the Caribbean
(besides Rum Punch) is all the boats. They look so awesome in the
crystal clear water with islands in the background. |

How did the pretty girls get into this picture?
Must have been by accident. |
 |
|
There were three Jeeps in our tour, and here we are
watching the one that is driving right behind us.
This was a great tour, not too crowded in the Jeep, so it
was fun and comfortable. |
 |
 |
Here is Karen and "Karon" our tour guide who knew a lot
about the island. The lady in red in the Jeep
had a bad foot and did not want to keep climbing in an out of the Jeep.
She eventually got to sit up front with Karon, which was much better for her
-- and gave us more room in the back of the Jeep. |
|
They kept telling us that some American dentist owns this
island, and that island... if I had been a teenager, I would have started
thinking hard about dental school. |
 |
 |
It was so beautiful here. Not
the kind of house where you want to walk in and then realize that you forgot
to pick up milk and so you have to go all the way back down the hill to
town... |
|
In the upper right corner of this photo, you can see the
airstrip for the International Airport. |
 |
 |
Here is an even better view of the airport. |
|
What do I have to do to get a house here?! |
 |
 |
Airport AGAIN. |
|
Look at all that blond hair Karen has! |
 |
 |
Josiah's on the Bay (or something like that) was a great
beach. Nice waves, very clear water, and some interesting birds flying
around. Karen picked up a couple of shell fragments. |
|
We did not see anyone surf; they were already done when
we got to the beach. |
 |
 |
We saw a lot of cows and chickens just walking around
freely. |
|
One of the guys in our Jeep decided that he would be
happy to have this little chunk of land jutting out from this island.
He wouldn't need a whole island, just a little chunk. |
 |
 |
By the end of the tour, the sun was setting. The
temperature dropped, yet it was still lovely and comfortable. |
