Virgin Islands Vacation - Day 8 - Thursday 05/26/11

Sun!!! First, though, another attempt at getting to Sunsi Bay, this time from the southwest side. Again, no luck. It's beautiful from above but inaccessible except to serious hikers and climbers. Then off to the closest good beach at Smith Bay again for a full day! And enjoyed a full day of rays. Seems that the angle at which the Earth tilts and being in May combine to make the sun go directly overhead. I've never had such direct sun in my life. 15 minutes in this sun is about equivalent to 90 minutes in "direct" sun in Texas in summer. Thank goodness for sunscreen!!! And we're still a little red. After we couldn't handle any more sun, we took a nice drive up the mountain and checked out another condo area for possible future stays. Loved it. :) We finished the day with a really delicious dinner at a nice restaurant called Thirteen, just up the hill. It was one of the best meals I've had in my entire life.
