  MJ Morning Show - Jesus Door Tour - Fairview Heights, IL
  

  The MJ Morning show, on Z1077 in St. Louis, has been promoting a door called the Jesus Door.  This is a door that was in a business in Florida and one of the employees noticed what appears to be Jesus’ face in the wood grains of the door.  The door struck a lot of attention and the morning show decided to actually take the door to all their affiliate stations in Florida and Missouri.  They stopped in Fairview Heights today to show the door to everyone and I stopped by to take a few photos.  Below are the shots of Fester, the Z1077 Hummer, and the promotions guy from Z1077.

  St. Thomas Day 6
  

  I spent quite a bit of time laying around the resort today but I did snap some good sunset shots.  I also caught some good self portraits shooting into the glass reflection on an elevator.  We leave tomorrow and so we are trying to relax as much as possible before we leave paradise.   All the photos are online here.

  St. Thomas Days 4 and 5 - St. John’s Island
  

  Today was quite a long day.  We took a vehicle ferry from St. Thomas to St. John’s Island and toured the island.  We ate lunch at Miss Lucy’s restaurant on the south side of the island.  The restaurant is known to have one of the best views on the island.  The food was very good and there was some interesting entertainment.  There were about ten goats that walked past the outdoor patio on the side of the restaurant and one of them snatched a burger off a woman’s plate.  There were also some chickens and chicks that were running around under the tables looking for food.  It was definitely not the traditional dining experience.

  We stopped for drinks at Margarita Phil’s.  The drinks were excellent and the employees were pretty entertaining.  We caught what was about the best sunset that I have seen here all week.  The sunsets don’t really compare to those in Hawaii but I still snapped some great photos.  All the photos are online.
