Returned a few days ago from three weeks on our favorite place. Carol and I stayed at Villa Ester in Orient Village and spent most of our time on Orient Beach. We had rain only 1 day and the island looks desolate due to the lack of rain. The traffic was heavy as usual and there is quite a few detours around Marigot. Visited with friends a few times and made the usual shopping trips into Marigot and Philipsburg. Also took over 1000 photos which will help illustrate the dozen or so stories that I will be writing. For those who know, or know of, Bernadine Ali, I made a visit with her and her friends. I posted the first of two stories on my blog this morning and you can read it here: https://lifewithldub.blogspot.com
