St. Croix Links


Waterfront

Frederiksted, St. Croix waterfront

Christopher Columbus’discovered St. Croix during his search for East India (instead we have the West Indies).  Since then St. Croix has been under the rule of seven nations, transferring from Denmark to the U.S. in 1917.  This rich history, added to the native culture of the Arawak and Carib peoples, creates a mixture of culture that is ‘just right’.

When you visit

Shift into low gear when you arrive on St. Croix.  First, shift into driving on the left-hand side of the road (rental vehicles and roadsides have reminders).  Then notice that the culture moves slow and easy.  Islanders greet you with Good Morning, Good Afternoon, Good Evening or Good Night.  This simple courtesy of shared greetings enfolds you in a feeling of community.  Your transformation is complete when you join the islanders in embracing the lyrics of Bob Marley’s song – ‘Don’t worry ’bout a thing’.
