Carol,
A very nice thread indeed.

One of my favorite memories is of a wonderful dinner one night, sitting on the small balcony of the La Vie en Rose in Marigot with my wife. There was a tall ship in Marigot harbor with it's rigging lit up, and the local children were in the park across the steet practicing their Christmas Pagent songs. Their voices accompanied by steel drums gave us the best rendition of Silent Night I have ever heard. It still gives me goose bumps thinking about the view and the sounds of that evening.
