St. Martin

We had not been to Sint Maarten, the Dutch way, before and I wanted to get the classic
images of the airplanes landing over Maho Beach. I had arranged for a car
and guide to take us there and then on a tour of the island. The guide was excellent
and while we couldn’t escape the crowds from all the ships in port
that day, we had a fantastic lunch at a local restaurant.
