The second day of my cruise was to the island of St Kitts. We got off the boat and went to find a taxi to go to the beach. St Kitts is an island that was formed by a volcano and there isn't that many beaches on the main part of the island but the island has this peninsula that has many nice beaches so we went there. At the beach we saw monkeys that roam wild on the island as you can see the the two pictures.  At the same beach above the monkeys there was these trees that had little pink flowers on them and this bird which im not sure what kind it is was sucking out all the pollen from the flowers. This was on top of a hill overlooking the peninsula on the left is the Atlantic ocean and on the right is the Caribbean sea. the colour variation is very noticeable and in the background the island that is covered by clouds in the island of Nevis which is the other island that makes up the country St Kitts and Nevis. This was our cruise ship leaving the island and...

The next day we docked at St Thomas which is part of the American Virgin islands. We took a taxi to the main shopping area and went exploring the town is full of these little cute alleys that have all these high end expensive stores and restaurants.  But do look very nice still. This next picture was taken on the top floor of the cruise ship I was on i know the trees aren't in focus but i was paying more attention to the water and how stereotypical the water looks. This last picture is of use leaving St Thomas. It shows the landscape well and shows were people live and where people do not live you can see its spine which would be the mountains and the many houses that dot the sides of the mountains and of course you can see the private islands.

For my March break i went on a cruise. The first day was on the island of Porto Rico because the baot didn't leave till the next day. We stayed at a nice hotel and the hotel had a a lot of these black birds flying around the pool. Right outside my room was a tree which some of the birds were in and that is how i got the first picture. We went for a walk down to the beach the day we were going to board the boat because we had some time to kill and it was a very nice beach but it was very windy and there was no chairs and it looked as if the tide was coming in so we deiced to just take some pictures and go back to the hotel. On the way back to the hotel we were looking at houses as we were walking by and i saw a flash of movement going down the wall of one of the houses and as i got closer i saw it was a little lizard. I got a nice picture focusing mostly on its eyes to bring out the colours.
