Charlotte Amalie

St. Thomas is very beautiful when seen from a distance, with its gray-green mountains rising above the sea, mottled with soft mauves of shadow and dazzling silver sunlight, a mass of opalescent tints, as though the hills were carven from a giant pearl shell.

And as the harbor opens to view and the little town of Charlotte Amalia is seen spreading fan-wise up its three hillsides in triangles of soft buff, creamy white, and red, it seems a bit of the Mediterranean detached and transplanted here in the Caribbean.

But it must be confessed that the enchantment is mainly loaned by distance, for St. Thomas is a barren, arid island.

Charlotte Amalia, shut in by the hills, is unbearably hot.

There is but one level street, and while steep lanes, often ascending in stairways, lend picturesqueness to the place, they are most discouraging thoroughfares on a sweltering tropical day.

Moreover, St. Thomas, having ever been a world smart, a free port depending entirely upon commerce, has not the foreign, fascinating atmosphere we find in many of the islands.

Employees also have the opportunity to grow their skills and their paycheck by enrolling in free skills training programs for in-demand fields like software development and information technology.
