Living On Island Time

 

The book I am currently reading is set on St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands.  Not only is it bringing back long ago memories, I am learning things about the island that I did not know.

I've written about my one trip to the Virgin Islands fifty-six years ago (February 2010 blog) as well as mentioning the several trips my son Douglas and daughter-in-law Shelly have made there.

But I was not aware of the Reef Bay Trail petroglyphs until I read about them in this book.

I would love to have seen those. I asked Doug if he had and he said he had not - "The elevation change of the two mile is brutal and the day we were planned to hike it was too hot."

It would be wonderful to make a trip back to the islands and see all the changes since I first saw them. But that is not in the cards for me.

So I'll get back to my book and travel there via it. (As I do in almost every book I read - which is why I love reading.)
