On Sunday we rented a car and explored the island, including the other town, Frederiksted. Today, while Ray was working, I explored Christiansted. The buildings are not as old as those in St. Thomas although it has a similar history, but most of Christansted was burned in a slave uprising in the late 1800s. The architecture is charming and the waterfront area has many
beautiful shops and galleries in the old buildings.![](http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger2/5040/2030/320/StCroix2.1.jpg)

Thanks for the comments about my pictures. I'm glad people are enjoying them. I will have more St. Croix pics to post tomorrow. What you don't see in these pictures is how hot it is down here. By the time we got back today I felt like I had sweated every drop of liquid out of my body. It really makes Oregon cool and rain sound appealing.
One of my fave coffee mugs is a replica of the sugar mill tower. I bought it at an arts and craft faire when we were on the island. All those photos look familiar - I think I have them on a cd someplace! It is nice and cool and rainy this am - very Portlandish!!
ReplyDeleteSt Croix is very colorful. The silhouettes are very whimsical.
