life of a cruise ship nurse: st thomas, united states virgin islands part 1

honestly, it is so ridiculous that i need to have a part 1 and part 2 to every port we go to.  it is just so incredibly hard for me to decide which pics to post, so why not post all of them??  so here we go again. lots of pics of st thomas!
 fort christian
 i took a ton of pics of this because i think it is one of the coolest looking buildings ever.  it was built in 1671 and despite all the hurricanes and weather, it is still standing.  it is beautiful!


the national bird of st thomas.  not really, they are just everywhere!
 historic lutheran church of st thomas
 st thomas is beautiful!  flowers and greenery everywhere!
 my view at lunch of the harbor
 at home in the tropics. nothing else needs to be said
 blackbeard's castle
views of st thomas
streets of st thomas
 view from the top. we climbed the 99 steps up to blackbeard's castle
 i love old brick fences
 government house of st thomas
 of course the ER nurse in me loves to see the fire-trucks.  now where are those firemen??
 old doors are my absolute favorite!
windy brick staircase love.
