Back to Nature

We don’t have too much excitement to report on our past weekend. We had a good mix of work and play. We are trying to fit in some trips that we’ve marked as “must dos” before we leave the island. We can’t believe we only have 3 weekends left. Yikes!

So, this weekend we decided to go hike the Reef Bay Trail in St. John (http://www.stjohnbeachguide.com/Reef%20Bay%20Trail.htm). It’s a hike I have wanted to do for a while. It starts as a 2.4 mile hike downhill, so that you have to hike uphill on the way back. Not my first choice in hiking, but no biggee. A short hike off of this trail also takes you to petroglyphs, which are ancient Taino rock carvings. We had a great hike and I look forward to getting some more hiking in over the summer. Some of the highlights, other than the petroglyphs, were seeing deer, bats, and wild pineapple (not yet edible, darn it). I can understand the desire to do 10 + miles hikes, since I felt it all ended too soon.

I hope everyone else had a lovely weekend and is enjoying the week. I will touch base next time I have something post-worthy.

XOXO until next time!


Petroglyphs! Can you see them? Some kind hikers had to point them out to us.


A big ol' nest of termites. I don't ever want to be within 700ft of one of those if falls...


Wild pineapple-yum


Bats! They are kind of cute upclose...


Bambi- who knew there were deer in St. John? That was news to us.
