St. Martin, West Indies

February 2010

 
 

We spent two weeks with Noemi and Stefan at the Dove’s Nest, on La Petite Plage, Grand Case, St. Martin. Rachel joined us for the first week. We took a short, 15-minute walk to Grand Case most mornings for baguettes and croissants, and, after leisurely breakfasts, headed to various beaches around the French side of the island and visited Marigot, capital of  St. Martin (French) and Phillipsburg, capital of Mt. Maarten (Dutch). Of note were sunsets from our balcony, fine cuisine in Grand Case, vibrant flowers in the Dove’s Nest gardens, ideal weather, and warm Caribbean water. Suzy and Emile Larmony, owners of the Dove’s Nest, were most welcoming and once a week hosted a barbecue buffet for guests.
