Twenty years ago Anthony and I married on St. John, USVI. Twenty years later we brought our kids to stay at the same hotel where we stayed, to eat at the same restaurants we ate and to swim in the same calm, blue waters we fell in love with over twenty years ago. There was change; new restaurants, more facilities at beaches, bigger crowds but remarkably so much stayed the same.

People make a place. The people that stay and the people that come and go. People leave a mark on the spaces and on each other. Bocas Town, at the tip of Isla Colon, will be viewed by some as rustic and some as touristy, by some as leisure and some as work, by some as destination and some as home. Wherever we lay our heads, whether for one night or many, we take from it what we will. People make the place and make of the place and both experiences deserve appreciation.
Isla Zapatilla are actually two small islands that are part of the Bastimentos National Marine Park and are completely undeveloped. Small in size, they can be explored and circumnavigated in just a half hour. We arrived first and enjoyed the beautiful island to ourselves before the boatloads of tourists arrived.
