2 Day Adventure on St. Maarten

We arrived yesterday around 3pm and have been having a blast ever since. Here are a few photos of our brief stay on the island before we head out on the catamaran with our friends tomorrow morning. The fascinating thing about this 37 sq. mile island is that it's a part of two different countries - the Dutch side and the French side - we're with the Dutch. To make a call from a landline from the French side to the Dutch side, a person is charged international long distance - pretty funny.

I tested my luck at one of the casinos in town and played roulette - if I had won big, I would have flown our families and friends out to join us...sorry no luck - lost $10.
