St. Thomas

St. Thomas, USVI- So beautiful.

Our mission today: W had been wanting conch chowder. Mission accomplished. We took a taxi to town, (interesting-- open air with seats attached to big pickup truck chassis) and then walked around a bit. Many people wanted to sell us jewelry-- we told one that we were in search of conch chowder. He aimed us toward a restaurant.

We walked a bit, and asked another jewelry-seller if we were on the right track to that restaurant. "Why would you want to go there?" he asked. He had previously conducted food tours, and suggested that Gladys's would be a better choice. It was great!

W got his conch chowder. We shared an order of conch fritters and an avacado and lobster salad. SO good!!! Highly recommend Gladys's next time you're in St. Thomas.

Back to the ship for some balcony time, and saw this guy and several of his friends at the pier.

Dinner- Shrimp cocktail, sole, and lemon tart; seafood cake, chicken parmesan and Mississippi mud pie.Read more
