ST MARTIN ’02: Day 4

Tuesday: We spent most of Tuesday resting. It is a vacation after all. We lazed around, watched telly and, every once in a while, we’d look out over the view of Dawn Beach. J&R headed off to do some stuff, Daiv and I stayed at the resort for some downtime-24 hour other people isn’t our thing. We do well together since we aren’t attached at the hip, but when we are around other people *all the time*, we get a bit cranky-well, more than a bit. We walked the long arduous 2 minutes to the beach and stayed in the water bobbing in the waves and watching the afternoon clouds turn dark.

The Caribbean is an interesting place. There are lots of people who are just sailing around the islands, expats who spend their time coasting around soaking up the sunshine and living what probably is a pirate’s life… its probably not as romanticized as that, but I admire the nomadic lifestyle.
We had reservations at Citrus later on that night. Its a fairly new restaurant on the island. I think its geared toward New Yorker’s and Californian foodies-evident in the decor- but the food ROCKS. I had the tasting menu that included oysters, a bit of game hen on ‘forbidden rice’ with pate, venison and a chocolate cake. I refrained from licking the plate, but that was a hard won battle. WONDERFUL food.
