This is very disturbing.
Over the years I've spent many a late night hour choosing jewelry at JN sipping on their version of champagne.
One of my best memories, that beautiful type of tired that comes after a day spent swimming, sunning and boozing..jewelry shopping while high.

My paradise is slowly changing every year.

Now the Chinese groceries are robbed frequently, used to stop on way from one beach to another for snacks..now that too won't ever feel quite the same.

The St Martin I fell in love with
You could have had an early morning swim before the sun came up on Cupecoy.. bliss..all alone..nothing like being first person to walk the sand touch the water in the morning.
You could swim at Baie Rogue till darkness fell.
You could walk the streets of Philipsburgh after winning at Jump Up Casino any hour of the night.

It's sad when a thing you love changes.
What you fell in love with is not quite there still.
People and places change.
