St. Kitts




Franco was awarded the Golden Circle Award for the second year in a row. This prestigious award is for being in the top 6% of sales for the entire International Marriott Company. This is especially impressive considering the state of the economy right now. We had a 6 hour layover in St. Thomas, so we went touring in the downtown. The whole island is only 33 square miles so it was pretty easy to see it all. Our favorite site was this old church. It is the oldest Lutheran church still in operation in the western hemisphere.









The view from our window on was gorgeous.

I thought the weather station was so fun.

This is the life!


At the Award's Ceremony:

We went on a tour of the island and discovered gas prices were astronomical!



We bought some local, road-side bar-b-que. I have to admit it was better than any GA bar-b-que I've ever eaten!




This is where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Carribean Ocean. How cool is that!


This is what the local's call the Whiskey Tree:



We visited the most famous site on the island, the old fort. We had a great day hanging out with some new friends!
