What I Did On My Summer Vacation: The Big British V
*sigh*
anyone else not feel like blogging? because i certainly don't.
but i don't feel like doing work even less.
*sigh*
so here we go....
next stop on our cruise after a day at sea was Tortola, one of the islands of the British Virgin Islands. It was my first time in Tortola and after docking, my MIL and I decided to do a little exploring. Since it was 300 degrees, that got old fast. (I would just like to point out that my skin is the color of paste. I am not evolutionarily suited for the environmental or climatic conditions in this this part of the world. AND YES EVOLUTION IS PRETTY MUCH SCIENTIFIC FACT!!!)
so we quickly hopped on Captain Friendly's taxi/bus/pick-up truck with seats, for a 3 hour tour.
for $15 we got a little history (there were a lot of pirate stories .... arrrgggghhh) and current events (apparently the "Pirates of the Caribbean" movies were filmed here) and we got to do a little shopping and a little relaxing and we got to see a lot of beautiful scenery.
*according to captain friendly, johnny depp stood on this beach*

I can't believe you actually came back. I'd have been sorely tempted to jump ship and stay there. (Except for the heat...)

Holy crap - you aren't a creationist? Isn't wool a hallmark of Intelligent Design? Kidding! FYI, there was an interesting article in the July 13 Boston Globe on butterfly evolution in Samoa (page A4, left hand column).

I don't feel like blogging either... of course mine is due to being sucked into Ravelry 24/7!!
I love the pic of the sand and the palm tree... it would make an amazing postcard!

Glad I'm not the only commenter who wanted to roll around in the sand where Johnny Depp stood. Hee hee!

It's a shame Johnny wasn't on the beach WHILE you were there! Gorgeous pics! You are now ready to be an excellent tourism promoter!

Gorgeous! (and yeah, I kind of don't feel like bloggin, either. I feel like sleeping, but I'm at work because I also feel like paying my bills. *big dramatic angsty sigh*

It started on a tropic isle...blah blah blah
...now it's stuck in my head. Thanks. ;op

My ancestors came from the frozen north - I hear ya. (Of COURSE it's scientific fact!) Gorgeous pictures - I'm sorry you were practically swooning from the heat to get them! (Didn't you *swoon* to hear about Johnny Depp??? hehehe)

My favorite is the elevated one, looking down on everything. Breathtaking.
Speaking of JD, I'll take him if there are no takers. Just offering...

Who you yelling at woman? Everyone KNOWS evolution is real... um. Ok. Everyone with a brain. (was that offensive? maybe you have to 'edit' me). The beach is gorgeous... pls tell me you had a pina colada... or 5.

Posted by: Debi | July 12, 2007 at 05:23 PM
Are those pix real? I mean, you didn't photoshop the colors into the water or anything?
Of course they are. They're just unbelievable.
**Pretty much** scientific fact???
