 One of my favorite things about our new apartment are the many fruit trees that surround it. My favorite Caribbean fruit is the Sugar Apple (first photo) it taste a lot like apple pie! We have so many avocados that we're giving them away, we also have soursop, limes, mangos, plums, papayas, and coffee all in season. I've also spotted banana trees and cashew trees that are not yet producing at this time. I can't wait for the seasons to change to find more trees!
When I first moved to the Caribbean I had envisioned lot's of fresh fruit growing everywhere and I've finally found it!

What do you have planned for the weekend? I hope you find the time on Saturday evening to see the Supermoon. I'm working all weekend photographing weddings and daydreaming about being on St Lucia at this amazing resort called The Jalousie Plantations, Sugar Beach - aren't their photographs just breathtaking. I feel relaxed just looking at the photographs of the resort and can hardly imagine what it would be like to spend the weekend here.
Hope you have an amazing weekend!!!

Make sure to pick up your own drinking water, the water they provide tastes terrible. 

These are the extremely steep spiral stairs that we had to climb to our room.

 View from the wine deck.


We stayed at The Gallery Inn located at the top of Old San Juan in Puerto Rico over the weekend. This has to be one of the most unusual accommodations that I’ve ever stepped foot in – The Gallery Inn has 22 guest rooms within 6 interconnecting townhouses with many additional sitting rooms, gardens, and patios. Each room is stuffed full of Jan D’Esopo’s artwork. I had a lot of fun walking around the property photographing; this was the best part of my stay at The Gallery Inn. I would recommend just visiting the inn, it is open to the public. I wouldn't recommend the accommodations that the inn has to offer for your visit to Old San Juan. I thought the rooms were: overpriced, dingy, full of dust, insulted that there is a “corking fee” of $15 to bring your own bottle of wine to the wine deck, misled by the advertisement for live concerts in the music room that do not exist after September, and annoyed at the constant barking of dogs in the neighborhood and the ongoing squawking of the parrots that bite. The next time I visit Old San Juan I might stay at El Convento instead.

Just getting back from our weekend getaway to Old San Juan and starting to import all the photos that we made walking around the little city. It was a much needed trip to take a little time off from work, get into the holiday spirit, and recharge. Have you ever been to Old San Juan? It wasn't exactly what I was expecting but a nice change from the day to day here in the USVI. I was secretly hoping to fall in love with the little city and want to relocate there, oh well. I'll post a bunch of photos this week of the trip, my favorite places to eat, where we stayed, and what we did.
