It IS a private road, across private property. Who do you suggest pay for the electricity and upkeep for that? Taxes and government certainly do not.

I’ll try but remember, I’m not a foodie and if I was describing it, ‘we had lunch and it was good.’

Kim and I had the beef carpaccio which was served with incredible French fries and a small salad with some sort of a honey dressing. On top of the beef was some fancy lives and shared cheese.

John had a nicely seasoned shrimp, calamari and scallop dish in a salad presentation that he loved.

Joan had a baked mahi mahi served with a side of flavored rice and some kind of a sauce for the fish. There were a lot of fancy words added to the menu descriptions but I probably wouldn’t have known what they were in English never mind as written in French.

The desserts were a chocolate confection with what seemed almost like a chocolate tiramisu, a chocolate mousse and a rich dark chocolate ice cream and the other was coconut encased in dark chocolate with mango and something else. I’m not much of a dessert eater but the first one I did taste and it was yummy but sweet.



Yes, the St.Maarten snow comment was in reference to all the white butterflies which, as GaKaye stated, really are a pale yellow or ecru color but against the green and blue backdrops appear from afar to be white.

Eva,

The world is such a big place - thanks for sharing you trip.

Much love to one and all..great to see old pals ..however all this pans out I'm sure some of us maniacs will hang in there!

Yes. I remember that article. Lots of talk and no action.

Maybe it was a bad weather day and had nothing else to do.

I have done that as well but I am not 100% confident on the "free" extension thing always working even though it appears it does.

Hey, I never knew that either!! We both learned something today!

I'm looking forward to your Anse Marcel report too!!

Pat, today was the day we would have been your neighbor, so make that report good!!!

I always found the beaches on the east side of island were more windy.

Two thumbs up for Pie Hole.

Update

Hapgood has failed to show up for a hearing. I don't understand why the charges aren't just being dismissed, based on the blood test results.
