Flamboyants and Buttercups and a Lovely Caribbean Belle ~ 1960s

Caribbean Belle in St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands

I love these old postcards that capture a moment in time.Β 

I remember climbing a flamboyant tree similar to the one in the background as a child.

It was so much fun. I felt like I was on top of the world!

Those were the carefree days before electronic devices dominated our lives.

Even visitors enjoyed the natural beauty of the Virgin Islands as evidenced by this postcard.

Caribbean Belle

Dear Anna and Ray,

“The Caribbean is an eternal garden.”

“We are having a great time and just eating too much.

It has been wonderful for us!”

Love,

Roger and Rose
