St. Croix - Nov. 6-13, 2021

The owner of Aquatic Adventures invited us on her birthday trip to St. Croix. We got two houses, which looked very close on a map, but were really far on the hilly, pot-holed roads of St. Croix.

Mark and I rented a car, which we took down to the dive shop each morning with Wendy to jump on the boat for our two morning dives a day. Besides the day we did a night dive at the pier, we got to explore the city a bit. 

On Monday, we did a night dive at the pier with the Aquatic Adventures group.

On Wednesday, we explored the fort and the market.

On Thursday, we did the pier by ourselves and found a seahorse! (But no frogfish for Mark.)

On Friday, we explored the island - starting with a lunch with "drunken" pigs, a commune/farm where Snow Bear greeted us (and we really hit the max of potholes with the car), and a ruined estate.

Saturday, as we checked out and headed to the airport, we stopped by the botanical gardens, and then swung by a geocache.
