Mountaintop, Saint Thomas





Mountaintop is a small shopping mall nestled between the TV tower and the satellite dish. It features alot of pirate themed items celebrating the homeland of Blackbeard, notorious bad boy and burier of treasure. Blackbeard's Castle is on the Island but we never got there. Keith enjoyed the lusty pirate babe in the lobby while Jake and Paul fell in love with this T-shirt.
"Hi, my name is Roger and I will be flogging you today."
The view from Mountaintop is spectacular and Samuel told us on a clear day you can see all the way to St. John. We could make out Tortula and several other British Virgin Islands. Samuel said that is was so hazy there because of dust kicked up in the Sahara Desert. I had no idea dust from the Sahara could travel so far and have such an impact on the Caribbean.
