Paradise Pic is a pretty remote spot in St. Martin but would you believe....

Many years ago, possibly as many as thirty, my girls each brought a friend with them to SXM and begged their Dad to take them all up to Paradise Pic. We drove up as far as we could drive and Dad and the kids went off to climb over the fence and head out to see the view. Having done this so many times in the past I decided to stay in the car and read while they were gone. And yes, this was far enough 'back in the day' when it was perfectly safe to do so.

Pretty soon another car pulled up next to ours and same story - the Dad and the kids went off to take in the view and the Mom stayed in the car with a book in hand and as people do, we started chatting. After a bit the question of where we came from came up.

"Connecticut? Really? Me, too. " And as the conversation continued we found we had a lot more in common........

Come to find out, the other family was from the town next to us and the wife was a teacher in our local high school and had had one of my girls in her class a few years before.

It really is a small, small world. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
