Frightning? A big fat NO! The weather outside in St. Croix is absolutely the BEST right now! High temps in the……80’s!!!! Can you believe it???? My mom “chuckled” when I told her I had long sleeves on Sunday night, as she was pulling plants in so they wouldn’t die in predicted night-time freeze. The breeze blows at night as we watch the bougainvillea branches burn in our chiminea. And, seems like a lot of the country is experiencing not-so-hot (literally) temps according to some of your emails and friends and family I keep up with way up there in America.
Ahhhhhh, I’ll say it again. Beautiful weather. THIS is why I love in the Caribbean. Ask me on a different day and I’ll give you a different reason, but today the cool weather is the reason.
In addition to the glorious weather (have I mentioned it?) St. Croix is bustling with people. Thanksgiving week is the first big wave of sun-seekers we get on island, and there is lots to do! Friday morning is also the arrival of our first cruise ship. I’ll pack the babe up and we’ll go down to Frederiksted to see all the hoopla. But the fun is just beginning….Jump Up is that evening. Even though I was supposed to be working today, I secretly was scoping out stores in Christiansted, avoiding my boss & co-workers, so I could make my lists of wants and gift ideas. Jump Up is a good time to take advantage of sales in the Christiansted stores (couldn’t we all use a little help in saving money?) Look for my top St. Croix gift picks in the coming days.
Until then…for those of you not on island yet, but longing and counting the days, be sure to check our event calendar for fun things to do, and things NOT to miss, like the annual St. Croix Boat Parade.
Happy Turkey Day. I’ll be at the beach.
