Since I have today off (YAY) and I had the weekend off (YAY), I decided it would be a good time to sort and clean. You know...all that stuff that just gets shoved into any available spot, just temporarily until you have time to clean.

| Ahhh, 80° and humid - to be there now... |
I found this postcard in a pile of stuff that I had intended to scan someday. The scene is Palm Passage, Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas USVI. In December 1980 and January 1981 we spent a month on St. Thomas. We often ate lunch at the outdoor cafe in Palm Passage.

| The autographs on the back of the postcard |
This card was never sent and was used for autographs. Many evenings, while staying at Point Pleasant, we would walk around the cove to Coki Point and listen to a group of young locals playing steel drums. They were the high school band. We'd buy ice teas and find a bench under some palms and listen for a half hour or so. I think they enjoyed the appreciative audience as most of the tourists would just walk on by. They got a kick out of being asked for their autographs. I wonder what these 'kids' are up to these days? Wow, they would be around 47, 48 years old!

Great postcard! I lived on St. Thomas from roughly 1982-1988 and have fond memories of meals (and drinks) shared at that Palm Passage restaurant.
Nearly moved there but jobs at the College of the Virgin Islands were non-existent at that time. Even had a house picked out...ready to renovate...next door to the elementary school in Tutu.
