We have been enjoying our trip some let downs but you can’t let what you can’t control spoil a good time. Yesterday we took our complete tour around the SXM. Phillipsburg was empty the far end toward the cruise ships looked real good. We continued to naked boy hill always a thrill of a ride, a little rough at the bottom.

Made our way to Dawn beach. Mr Brivbis ( not so correctly) all gone-- nothing there except weeds. Captain Jacks 90% empty. The roads were pretty good. We made it to Orient. We saw that two new homes on the way in. We were there for two hours. I worked on my tan happy hour from 1:30 to 2:30. Love the mud slides. Took the beach route to the village. Many places rebuilt looked good .

We bought some Ma Doudou Rum at there store, lady very nice. We proceeded to The Grand-case beach club. They did a real good job, look fine. We went through the village-- lots of work needed, lots of people. We were surprised. Stopped at Danys for a Rum Punch and back to El Zafiro.

We ate at Pineapple Pete’s. It was good. Stopped at the Casino Royal, made a deposit, then sleep.
