interesting Leaf

This is a photo of a hermit crab on Anthol Island out of St Thomas Virgin Islands.

The reason I wanted to show this to you, not only for the value of seeing one of the millions of hermit crabs that live here, is that leaf.

Look at the design on the leaf.  I didn't notice it when I was there, but as I spend the time looking at each photo, I can really see it.

Intriguing.

Ever seen anything like it?

I wonder how it got like that?

For your viewing pleasure, here are other shots around the island.

Caribbean Beauty - I thought about Carol at QuiltedFiberArt at every port!


 



Yep, I kept looking around and thinking, Carol would LOVE this view......oh Carol would LOVE these rocks...….Carol would LOVE this water!

















We had no problems with air travel this time.  For a change!  Got to Miami when they said we would on a 737 no less.  Not a Max 8 or 9 however.  Miami was gorgeous!

















The weather all through the Caribbean was perfect, not too hot, not blazing heat like they have in the summer months.  This is the perfect time to go.  No large crowds, but things are totally open and available. 










We boarded the Norwegian Bliss, a brand new HUGE ship.  4400 capacity passengers and 1500 crew.   But either they had a lot less than capacity passengers or they have designed this ship to spread people out, because we never stood in lines or was crowded like in some other ships.

That is the Bliss on the left.  The ship on the right is the Carnival ship we have been on several times.  BIG difference!
































beautifully designed with a race track for go carts, a 3 story water slide, a 3 story out over the water water slide, a bowling alley, an arcade gallery and laser tag on the 21st floor.  Frank got sick on the race cars......just sayin'

















We caught up with our cruising friends Allan and Diane.   Laughed and loved every minute together!











We saw two Broadway shows (Jersey Boys and Havana)and the Fab Four Show.  Did you know the Jersey Boys was about Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons?  For some reason I didn't!





We kayaked in St Thomas, zip lined in Tortuga and segwayed in Blue Lagoon Nassau.  Well, Frank zip lined through 7 stations across the island, if I were meant to fly though the air I would have been born with wings.


Even the sunsets look like whales!


It is good to be home.  Tomorrow we get the dogs and all will be back to normal......except for a little sand in my suitcase!
