St. Kitts 2-25

St. Kitts
Another day- Another port o call.
We didn't have any specific outings planned for this day.
So we set out to do a little exploring. This lil tug was one of the first things we saw.
Ty you've got a rig to call your own!

This island appeared less affluent and touristy. There were a lot of sidewalk vendors. But they weren't pushy at all.
In fact many seemed kind of apathetic. The fact that the government owns all the land and it is too expensive
for most citizens to own anything might have had something to do with that attitude.
But at least they have Scooby transportation readily available.

Their town square was rather attractive with it's green clockwork.

However there were more colorful things to be seen. On many fronts - er backsides...Top sides. Back AND topsides. And just walkin by... The government owned buildings were brightly colored and well maintained.


This church was built in the 1700s and was probably the coolest building on the island.

Standing in the churchyard I turned my head and saw this ...

There were contradictions everywhere.


This was the cool rustic iron work on the side door.
It was really large inside.

A couple of the elegant stained glass panels inside. And speaking of elegant,
er fancy... Did I mention monkeys?

Apparently this island has an abundance of monkeys.
We only saw these two being used for photo ops...


But we did see this animal at the end of the day.

So many little islands. Who knew?

It is sad, but unless it was on Beach Boys "Kokomo" I may not have heard of it.

Truly, the towels get better every day. They must have planned it this way for dramatic affect.
