Dale Sorenson's U.S. Virgin Islands Photos

St. Thomas & St. John - U.S. Virgin Islands - 2002

At the end of October 2002, my friend Carson and I took a last minute trip to the U.S. Virgin Islands. It was beyond beautiful. Point a camera in any direction anywhere for a picture perfect postcard. We stayed at the very pleasant Secret Harbour Resort on St. Thomas.

The island culture is an interesting mix of contradictions and hypocrisy, proud heritage with corrupt politics, religious piety yet libidinious partying and drinking, booming business but rampant poverty.

All in all, a fabulous holiday. Thanks to all the locals who made us feel so welcome.


The view from Secret Harbour Resort	Ahhhh ... to be a kid again. That was me, once upon a time, building countless sand castles complete with irrigation systems to bring in sea water for the moats.	Wild iguanas wander the islands

Senators put their children on the payroll, the staff is bloated, accounting is shady and they owe the federal government $1 Billion. What a mess.

With the popularity of string bikinis and nude beaches there are many lovely asses to behold on the islands. This was my favorite.	Vaughn, Dale and Carson "Dudes!"
