It is raining this morning.  First time in the eleven days we’ve been here that it has been anything other than sunny with little puffy clouds.  A cruise ship pulled into port this morning for its one day stay.  For the people on the ship, their only memory of St. Croix will be filled with rain and grey.  For us, this day will fade into an insignificant background, hidden from view by the perfect weather we will remember.  Of course, if the roof starts to leak that’s something else… but let’s not go there.

Besides the memories what will I bring back with me when we leave in two days?  An ability to snorkel… a tan… the taste of conch fritters… the contents of a now empty rum bottle… the experience of driving on the left hand side of the road… new friends…  a love of cute tiny little lizards… and a deep feeling of relaxation and peace surrounding an inner energy just waiting to pour into my work when I get home.

But… no hurry.  If it clears up we’ll walk into town.  If it doesn’t?  There’s always a nap.

peace……ag
