Bella Blu

Last night we tried a new restaurant, and it was AMAZING! I must say, the three of us have never been so quiet during a meal, and the only thing we did continuously say is "wow." We had a Brie pastry for the appetizer, garlic bread, I had Linzer Schnitzel (breaded chicken pounded flat with a Gorgonzola creme sauce with spinach for dinner, and for dessert...yes, I wanted some pie (inside joke with the family), so we split some Key Lime Pie! I normally don't talk about the food I eat here, but that place was just wonderful. I highly recommend Bella Blu if you ever come down to St. Thomas.

Coral World (Slide Show Added)

So, my coworker and her children picked me up this morning and we went to Coral World! Coral World is a small marine park on the East end of the island beside Coki Beach. We got to feed the sting rays, feed nectar to some lorikeets (birds), go in an underwater observatory, see some juvenile sharks, and catch a Sea Lion presentation. The sea lion's name was Omar and he showed off a few tricks for us. I took some video, but unfortunately, it was too dark inside, so you can't see Omar. It was fun, and I may have to go back again later!

Happy Friday

I hope that everyone had a wonderful Friday! The weather is sunny again today, so that is a good thing! Hopefully, I will be able to get some sun tomorrow. Also, the plan is to go to Coral World tomorrow with a coworker and her children. It should be a fun trip and I will take plenty of pictures!

Stranded...

So, I came upstairs with my laptop to load some pictures on my blog, and it started pouring rain! I took these pictures from the balcony, but you can't really see the rain, just that it's overcast. While I am glad for the rain, as it fills the cisterns that we use for our water, I don't want to go walking down the slippery stairs in the rain! Oh well, it shouldn't last too long, so Toby and I will just wait it out...

Beacon Point

So, I decided to finally see what Beacon Point was (there is a large sign that I pass everyday). After work, I finally drove in to check it out, and the place is closed! I did meet Herbie, he is a bartender there, and he told me that it is a lookout point and a large souvenir shop. I got to meet Max, he's a parrot who is caged there, and there were a few chickens and baby chicks walking about. I may go back another time to check it out, but it won't be high on my priority list.

Good news, tomorrow is Friday...which means the weekend!

Toby's Bath

Here are some pictures of Toby last night after I dried him off a bit. He was running all over the apartment like a wild dog...very funny! Today went well, I went to Cost-U-Less and picked up a few things to eat. If I haven't told you, Cost-U-Less is basically like a Sam's Club type place where you buy mainly in bulk. I was able to get some fruit and other things that I needed, so I was excited.

Scrub-a-dub-dub...

Toby's in the tub! So, Toby had his bath tonight, so now he's a clean puppy! He of course went running around the apartment like a crazy dog after he was clean, so it was very funny. Toby also has a pet! For two nights in a row, I have seen a little gecko running around the apartment. So far, he has been too quick for me to get a picture, but maybe later. I'm not going to worry about him, since at least if he is in here, he will eat any bugs that come along...
