Don't Back Down

One thing we noticed on St. Thomas is that just about every restaurant we visited was voted the best of something. Perhaps we were just lucky. Or perhaps they like to make sure everyone feels included. Duffy's is voted the best parking lot bar. Or restaurant. Or something.

Definitely gives you the feeling of being in the tropics, but it would do so even more if you could see the water nearby.
