To put it mildly, St. John is not exactly the most modern
place. Nothing ever changes much. However, although we have come here many (about
8, I’m not sure) times, and we have heard that they are frequent, we have never
experienced a power outage. Until this trip. The first evening, we were sitting
at a local bar listening to music when the lights went out. For a minute or so
it was pitch black, really weird. But then the power generator came on to at
least keep the kitchen/bar going, and they were pretty quick with the candles.
The power came back after only ten minutes or so.
But this morning, just as we were discussing which gorgeous
beach to visit today, the power went out. After a few minutes it looked like it
was not coming back on any time soon. So we did the only thing we could think to
do: we pulled some food from the fridge and headed for the beach! We had a
lovely day there and were elated when we saw the outside lights when we arrived back at the house.
And even in Biblical times, they knew that there could be
something beautiful after the rain.
Love,
Rebecca
