Photos Finally
So here are a bunch of pictures from the many things I have been doing. I wish I had invested in a drybox for my camera so that I could take it everywhere, but there are some trips that it is just to risky to take it. The first picture is reef bay waterfalls, near the petroglyphs I wrote about before.
These are the sugar mill ruins on the reef bay trail. They are really interesting in how they have been preserved and degraded. The National Park has posted signs explaining the process and the how the different parts of the ruin were used to manufacture the sugar. This ruin was filled with bats and deer and the occasional mongoose.
As I said, it is hard to explain the Baths on Virging Gorda, in the BVI. This is just one of the many pictures I took of them, but this is one of the most famous spots withing the Baths. This particular cave is called the cathedral because of its shape and the way that the sun reflects off the wall, giving the impression of stained glass.
Me and my friend Ronnie cliff jumping at Whistling Cay, straight of Maho Bay camps. We jumped at the same time off two spots, I chose the really sketchy jump. Sorry mom.
Me and a bunch of other Maho volunteers at The Beach Bar in Cruz Bay for the 10th Annual Bar Wars. The bar hosts a competition between bartenders at all the bars on island. They field teams and compete in a short, booze soaked obstacle course testing who is the best bartender. The teams who are eliminated can buy back in for a lot of money and all proceeds go to the humane society. They are literally drinking for the puppies. The middle picture shows Ollie, on the right, getting ready for the swimming leg of the relay. Maho, did well, but a dropped margarita in the semi-finals, eliminated us.
I have had the last few days off so I went cliff jumping again, hiked Rams Head, got another dive in, kayaked, swam a few miles to Cinnamon Bay, played beach volleyball, and snorkeled in the bay here. Again, need to be careful with the camera, but I am trying to take lots of pictures.
The Kitchen has been really short handed and so they have convinced me to stay two more weeks. I will be on island through the end of the month. I am really happy as I wasn't ready to leave . Thanks for reading, miss you all.
