Ah, Christmas in the Caribbean. Is there really any other way to spend it? Actually, it doesn’t feel like Christmas at all! There are some lame attempts at Christmas decorations around town, but for the most part it’s just high-season at a tourist destination!
The beach we went to was quite nice yesterday. Real windy so there were tons of people on the water Kite-boarding, which is basically wake boarding using a big kite to pull you along. My brother in-law Dan has all the gear so he set up and went kite boarding. Pretty cool, although I don’t think i’d be able to do it myself.
First impressions of St. Maarten were interesting. I was kinda expecting Hawaii I guess? Or like Thailand? But it definitely isn’t. It’s a little more ghetto than most of the popular tourist destinations, but the beaches don’t disappoint. Anyway, I guess there’s notmuch to say other than it’s December 23rd, the weather is a nice 80 degrees and sunny, and I’m a little sunburned. Gonna try to enjoy it before it’s back to the grind.
