Monday in St. Thomas


We're having a great time. We spent all day at the pool and beach right outside our resort room. Leah even got her naps in by taking one on me by the pool.

We learn quickly that we need to buy groceries or we'll spend a small fortune at restaurants and the hotel shop. So, Eli and I brave town by Taxi. First stop, the local K-Mart. Gallon of milk, $6.59. A box of cereal, $5. Everything is about a dollar more than at home. We also shop at the Four Seasons grocery store. Not much on selection, but we get some questionable deli meat, apples and browning bananas. I thought the food would be better here, oh well, no big deal. The restaurant food is really good though.

As for getting a Taxi back, we called the company back. There were men at the K-Mart calling Taxis for people. He got angry when we told him we called one on our own.

We also decided to rent a car because the Taxis charge per person. With 9 people it would be crazy not to rent a car. We rent a minivan that sits 8, which I'll hold Leah. It will be here tomorrow.
