Mom Raish's St John Retirement Week - Day 5

Mom hired a private charter snorkel boat but bob stayed home cuz seasick (fyi even being in the ocean like walking into it from the beach makes him sea sick ffs) and dad stayed home cuz dad. The boat captain/tour guide was a young lady who happened to be from like Dansville or somewhere in the 607 area code. I asked her what the dating scene (she was married or something like married) was like on St John and she said at first you're fresh blood on the island but then its becomes not good, either all the good people are taken or you're left with alcoholics and weirdos.

many sea turtles that day all over, where she took us were all the best snorkeling spots we'd see this trip

goin round the propellers does freak me out a lil. They're off but you never know.

Jeffery Epstein's island. It's the year 2023 as I write this. this is from wikipedia: Jeffrey Edward Epstein January 20, 1953 – August 10, 2019) was an American sex offender and financier. He and his pal Ghislane Maxwell trafficked minors for the rich and famous. Epstein had a decades-long association with the British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, leading to her 2021 conviction on U.S. federal charges of sex trafficking and conspiracy for helping him procure girls, including a 14-year-old, for child sexual abuse and prostitution. This is Epsteins island right next to St Johns where they'd fly people in by private jet for parties. Trump, Clinton, Prince Andres, Bill Gates etc were all flew on the "Lolita Express" to this island. Epstein was eventually convicted and hanged himself in prison which many believe was not suicide. The upside to all this is that Steven was facinated and obsessed with this whole thing so he knew we were gonna be by Epsteins island and was delighted to see it. He built some kinda pyramid or something so he could get a religion tax exemption and also had fake cows that they'd move around to trick the satellites so he could get an agricultural exemption. And you can multiply this thinking outwards to all the other rich guy exemptions and hacks. 

2 butt beach. A beach big enough for just 2 butts

Oppenheimer's house. He retreated to St Johns after realizing the horrors of what his atom bomb project had done. It was also a nice place to flee the communist accusations thrown at him due to his refusal to develop the hydrogen bomb. They'd have parties and him and his wife would travel btwn the us virgin isles and the British virgin isles and they say this is one of the best beaches on St John. It's 2023 and Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer movie is a summer block buster with rave reviews. I'm sure it will cause an uptick in visits to the area.

back at casa cielo look at what this piece of has been doing all day.

good thing about being in a US territory is flamin' hot cheetos availability.
