Day 3: The third day down in the eastern Caribbean, I gallivanted around the streets of St. Thomas’ capital, Charlotte Amalie. I walked up the infamous ’99 steps’ to get to Blackbird’s Castle-the pirate’s lookout point and hideaway. I stopped at Fort Christian, the Dano-Norwegian built fort erected in 1671.
After working up an appetite after perambulating through the city, I ate at Glady’s Cafe for some authentic St. Thomian food. I had delicious, fall-off-the-bone curried goat paired with sweet plantains, yucca, brown rice with beans, and baked mac and cheese. If you are a foodie like me and enjoy the flavors of local dishes, this is the place to go. Your tastebuds will thank you.
This day concluded with another vibrant sunset sitting on the beach and watching the rays disappear over the horizon.
