Maho Bay, St. John
Which contains within it- right to left - Francis Bay, Lillie Maho, and Big Maho.
Mary's (or Mary) Point is to the left of Francis Bay. The rock cliffs at the very tip of the point are streaked with red. There was a story I heard as a kid that, at the end of slave revolt in 1733, the slaves who refused to surrender gathered at Mary's Point and jumped off staining the rocks with their blood. They did indeed commit suicide rather than give up, but they didn't do it at Mary's Point.

Wow, it's almost overwhelming how much beauty there is in these pics and videos. So funny to think the slave trade went on in a place that later sold fresh fruit - we shouldn't ever forget the mistakes we made...
ReplyDeletei lived in Puerto Rico for a year and never made to any of the Virgin Islands. Every time we tried something came up and we couldn't go.

One of the things I love best about these islands is the culture. It's not just some beautiful beach somewhere.
ReplyDeleteI love the old market square. There's one like it in Charleston, SC.
ReplyDeleteAnother great vacation treat for me, Bish. Loved seeing your photo with Happy, too.
ReplyDeleteThat rocky beach looks nice.
ReplyDeleteWe visited Maho Bay in 2006 with friends who have been back every year since then. I've also got some beautiful photos of St John and St Thomas. - Belinda.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful place to live!
ReplyDeleteSo lovely! I left one of the videos open just so I could hear the waves.
ReplyDeleteIt looks so peaceful and serene. And you are the sweetest little girl on the whole Island.
ReplyDeleteAaahh :)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous!

ReplyDeleteLove the sound of the sea in those videos. I'm fortunate enough to fall asleep to it every night and wake up to the same every morning.
ReplyDeleteStopping by on the A to Z. What a beautiful place. The ocean is one of my favorite spots. Love the little videos that brought the sounds and sights right into my home. Thanks for sharing!
