Freedom of the Seas in St. Thomas, U.S.V.I.

Good morning,

We went ashore in St. Thomas, U.S.V.I. late one afternoon to take a few pictures.  At first, I was disappointed about the sun being behind the ship when I got ready to take the above image.

After I downloaded it, I really liked the "halo" effect around the bridge. 

We walked over to a newer shopping area that is near the marina.

Expensive toys. 

And, even more expensive toys.  ;)

 There are plenty of places to eat and shop.

 There are also places to stay.  If you sail in on your yacht, you might want to spend a few nights in a bed on land so this is a very convenient place to do just that.

 The name of the shop on the left is White House Black Market.  We didn't go inside.

 We continued our walk along the boardwalk and were able to get changing views of Freedom.

 This walkway goes all the way to the old downtown St.Thomas.

 We didn't go very far, though, since we had come ashore late in the afternoon.

 We made one final look back as we walked back to the ship.  High on the mountain you can see homes that overlook the harbor.  We will return here every two weeks and will plan another day when we can spend more time ashore.  Watch this space for more pictures of St. Thomas, U.S.V.I.

How beautiful.

All the best,
Lois
