Saint Croix

I spent a small amount of time in Frederiksted, St. Croix several weeks ago. They have in town The Caribbean Museum Center for the Arts; didn't quite know what to expect and it was certainly better than expected. In fact it really was awesome. Here are just a few from a show several months prior.

AND the treasure map that our wonderful host Bruce made, for us to find the site of some windmill ruins near Mount Victory Camp.

Snork swim sail survive. So much sea life. So much for life at sea... Till soon

WWOOFers

Backyard last year.
Backyard this year.

Last year's garden left us very impressed with how little we actually went grocery shopping. In the beginning, that was the core of the plan anyway (as was pure experience) AND we made out like veggie bandits despite a lot of overwatering and stinkbugs. 550 sq ft. of trial and error, some reading, some firsthand resource farmer 's aid. Just longingly wishing for a round three, too bad this year's backyard is a business. And by too bad, I mean how wonderful it is that FORREST AND I JOINED WWOOF TODAY. Worldwide Opportunities on Organic Farms, you can go anywhere. Here is WWOOF-USA:
