Wow, a month!! Enjoy! The grocery store in Marigot is Super U. Do check it out! Best prices on the island.
Thanks for the info re the new fence, which I hadn't heard before. That was my first suggestion, to do away with any space between the road and the fence. Hopefully that will do the trick and stop this foolish talk of moving the road.

Thanks Carol. Good point on the fence, sometimes the simple solution to a problem is the best. Forgot to mention, Seal was at Kon Tiki Tuesday night. A girl that we spoke with at Bikini BB had her picture with him. He was taking pictures with everyone, sounds like a nice guy. https://www.facebook.com/LePelicanjourna..._video_guests=0

Thanks for the update and report. Unless I am mistaken, the additional fence has been there for some time now as I am pretty sure it was there in March. A recent photo seems to show it there right after the accident. As you can see, it did not stop people from standing IN the road. Fence

Actually, you're right. I guess I didn't pay that much attention in June. Those people were in fact standing in the road, and the lady that was killed had to have been standing in the road also.

I actually think it was added a couple of years ago if not more.

That second fence was added after the incident there in 2012. They still were hanging on the second fence for the last 5 years so it really had no effect on the thrill seekers!

Thanks Elizabeth. I felt it had been a few years but did not recall it being 2012, thanks for the clarification.
