Arriving on Saint Martin

Well, it's cold now and it's time to go someplace warm:  Saint Martin in the Caribbean, an island which is half Dutch and half French.  We like to stay in Grand Case on the French side of the island, quieter than the Dutch side (with its cruise boat terminal) and packed with great beaches and small restaurants featuring fabulous French cooking focused on food from the sea.  We arrive at the Grand Case Beach Club and wander around our hotel, about a 10 minute walk from the small town of Grand Case.

Soon, the sun begins to set and the colors change dramatically across the land and the sea.

Another day has come to an end, we've arrived in paradise, and it's time for a walk to town and a fabulous dinner!
