                                                                                      US Virgin Islands

Picture
        The 3 US Virgin Islands, St. Croix, St. John and St.Thomas were once owned by Denmark and in 1917
        these 3 beautiful islands were purchased by the United States.
        All 3 islands have much early history and not long ago sugar plantations and cotton were started and
        many are still in business today.
        St. Croix has much Danish architecture in the towns, and a lot of names will be of Danish origin.
        The US Virgin Islands are sometimes sometimes called America's Vacation Paradise !!!
        For a beautiful view of the islands climb to the top of Bordeaux Mountain (1277 feet high) this is a great
        way to see the islands.
