Returning to St Thomas was a surreal experience. I had almost forgotten that I live here now. It definitely has taken a while to get back into the island rhythm. The service center is still under construction. All of the equipment is being shipped from the US and Switzerland and we hope to have everything delivered and installed by October. My new home is covered in a layer of island dust and all of my free time has been spent scrubbing my home back into a livable condition. And I do love my new home. I am perched up on a hillside above the green blue waters of Hull Bay. My morning routine consists of coffee and breakfast on my porch. At night, I play my guitar as green parrots flutter about and the sun sets in a stream of color behind the scattered islands. I am still unpacking and cleaning and arranging my new life but I am finally feeling back in step with the island. Though, at least once a day, I have to remind myself that this is where I live now. I have left city life, all that I know and the people that I love. It doesn't scare me, but it does give me pause.
Favorite sushi place, Watahoshi. Located in Hull Bay out of reach of most tourists. Traditional sushi, divine in taste and presentation.
Some of the old Danish warehouses downtown still show the original stone facade. I have been told that sand and molasses were used as the mortar.
