Loved the video. It seems the buildings are so close to the beach. I don't know anything about the US Virgin Islands - do they not have very high tides or tsunamis to worry about?
To answer Donna's question, I found mention of tsunamis hitting St Thomas in 1842 and 1867. So, why do they build so close to the beach? That's a good question for which I don't have an answer.
I look forward to these posts everyday!..I know the trip must be coming to an end..it will be sad to head home!
