Long overdue.....Back to the essence........



Last week I attended a family reunion in St. Croix which marked my 1st time back to any of my home islands in nearly 20 yrs. I had no idea it was that long an absence. In the day to day hustle of getting an education, entering the workforce, personal growth and evolution, it would seem I've overlook a key aspect of my overall make up. I've seen my family on a regular basis as they usually visit the states but this time it was the other way around. It felt go to get back to where I'm from......




More Pix after the Jump. You'll see some ruins that are the remains of a slave house on what was once an active plantation.


During royal times of royal control this was the Queens castle.


This plantation is now a historical landmark. For whatever reason it's not uncommon for tourists to request this location for weddings........yeah I feel a certain way about that.


This Sun dial marks the eastern most point of the island.


I'll be making it now business to back to my home again soon.....
