More photos... are you bored yet? Melissa requested that I put some scenic pictures up so here are a few. I didnt mention this before - but we would like to thank Lonnie for letting us come and get in his way! Our trip would have only been a tenth of the time we had if he wasnt there to be our personal tour guide. Thanks so much!
The Dutch were some of the first to habitate the island and they built windmills all around the island. You would think that they would be protected by the government, but they are actually privtely owned. This one is about 5 feet from the water on the downtown boardwalk and a few years ago it was the honeymoon suite for the hotel just outside the picture. We are all in full support of Lonnie trying to get this as his office. That would be awesome.
The view taken from one of Lonnie's properties. 
This was an entrance for water to come into a baptismal font that was carved out of coral in the 18th century. This was a short walk to the beach from the sugar plantation (imagine it turned)
This is the baptismal font. It was was pretty big - and this picture doesnt show it, but there are steps carved out of the coral as well for access to the water
Typical beach of St. Croix. We had amazing views like this a lot because the roads took us up mountains often.
The dark parts in the water are coral. The islan is almost entirely surrounded by reef. It is beautiful - but you just have to be careful when swimming. Great for snorkling and scuba diving!
Typical street on the island - in fact I think this was a "highway".
This shot required a very scary drive up a mountain - but it was worth it because the view was incredible.
Another shot from the same mountain overlooking another part of the island
