The second photo was taken from the car in Coral Bay on the east end, as we passed by a couple of locals cleaning their fish, who had attracted the curiosity of a couple of visitors. I love the contrast between them!
After two full days in St. John, and it's easy to see why people rave about the beauty of this island. It's a photographer's paradise, with panoramic views everywhere. The carved out little niches in the road, which serve as scenic stop points, are your reward for making it through the last harrowing stretch of dips, twists and turns. The first pic is a snapshot from our first stop overlooking Trunk Bay.

So what do you do before starting a blog? In my case, I went back and took a look at my very first travel journal, back in 1991, in which I jotted down interesting cultural tidbits, language translations and my adventures while eurailing across Europe. About 30 pages in, I came across a jewel--something that I hadn't realized until now greatly influenced my life and the way I looked at the world. I am sharing it with you here, with the caveat that the information may have evolved before and after being penned in my journal.
