So, why is Persephone in a tourist trap? One reason...the shopping. NO, not beads and bobbles; but supermarkets, Home Depot, and K-Mart. It was time for a major reprovisioning. We haven't had access to "American Stores" since leaving Puerto Rico two years ago. (literally !) You know that the credit card is in trouble when you can see the bottom of the freezer, or when you start to weep when you enter Home Depot ! It has been three days of solid shopping, and shopping some more....
But, before you start feeling bad, there has been lots of partying also. We met up with friends on "Foggy Mountain, who have been here for about a week. "Chamayo" arrived Friday morning and on Friday afternoon, the radio crackled announcing the arrival of "Sailacious". Plans were immediately made for burgers ashore. The eight of us had a blast at a local waterhole.
Last night, the party was aboard 'Persephone. The "Cruizateers" (named coined by Janice of 'Sailacious') were back together. Mohitoes were the specialty drink of the night served aboard....an entire liter of rum was gone by the third round ! The "Cruizateers" were the "Hangoverteers" this morning !!

| The sun sets on Charlotte Amalie The shopping is done, so it is time to leave CA. Tomorrow morning 'Persephone' will leave St. Thomas and return to the serenity and sanity of St. John...not for the benefit of THE CREW, but for my Credit Card !!! |
