Vacation

The moon is nearly full and casts lots of light here in the evening; here is the Moon; and here is our moonlit view; note the bright patch on the ocean which must be non-cloudy sky!

Yesterday Margaret and I flew from Boston via San Juan to St Thomas in the US Virgin islands, rented a Jeep and took the ferry to St Johns where we were met by Bob, who took us on a short tour of the island before guiding us to our home for the next week, the beautiful and peaceful Moon Cottage.
High on a hill with very steep and narrow roads to reach it (hence the Jeep) but well worth it once you get there – look at the views:

This view is available always, even when you’ve just woken up:

Even at night it’s beautiful (though at night very noisy with all the tree frogs and other night animals!):

Inside is lovely too – these pictures from when we arrived last night, and a few outside, this morning:
