Dustin makes a literary appearance!!
... think of it, I know very few people whose lives are under control in such a manner so perhaps it's all an illusion to make us feel safe. A "neighborhood" here consists of houses of all different types, colors (or remnants of a colors) and sizes built in ...

Another day...

More in 3 days than some people see in a lifetime.

Full Moon Beach Party

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas
