the biggest crowds we’ve seen on the island, by far, are at the beach, but only Mullet so far...Christmas was especially packed...chair guys were unboxing new umbrellas to keep up with demand...looks like the chair guys try to put as many lounges on the “first row” as possible, so the line of chairs extends way down the beach in both directions...the second row almost as much, and the third+, not nearly so...i’ll try to give them the benefit of the doubt, and say they allow an extra foot of space compared to normal times...lol....still many maskless congregate at Rosie’s ordering food, and we still see many people meeting & greeting up close

today we’re heading to Orient, so we’ll see how the french compare

by comparison, we spent 2 months this summer in europe, and although we went out almost every evening, we felt people took masking up and social distancing way more seriously
