St. Thomas, U.S.V.I.

Today we woke up in port at St. Thomas, we had a boat drill and a scheduled blackout to take care of. The blackout consists of powering down all the equipment and then pulling the main power on the ship. (I admit, it was a bit creepy seeing all the dark hallways.) Then we power everything back on and be on our way! So I go ashore with a buddy and we hit this bar named Ship Wrecked. It's pirate themed of course, all kinds of cool stuff in there like a manican casting a line over the ceiling, a female manican busting out of her plaid tied shirt and capris. It surprised me to see the US Football team logos inside. They had a Denver Broncos sign and a Steelers sign too. But it is a US Territory (I should find out for shore) and they accept USD and such. The guy brings our tab which is $60! Holy crap right!? couple$12 burgers and $25 pitcher of some French beer that I felt should have ben much colder! and then $10 gratuity included "For Our Convenience" psh.. We walk down the road to hit Kmart and Radio Shack and I notice all of the cars are much like the ones from home. (several Grand Cherokees in the line of course!) What I found odd about that is that the cars drove on the wrong side of the road! Then I focused on the fact that the driver was still on the right side of the car! So the passengers side with the median, and the drivers side with the sidewalks! Weird eh?! Couple hours later we make it back to the ship and I fell asleep watchin another movie! haha Rock On Crew! -Ben
