Monday started with coffee ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1010980 and espresso ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1010981 but the toast was burnt ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1010982 and so a second try was needed ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1010983 as we admired the view and especially the weather ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1010984 and headed out ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1010985 past the beautiful flowers ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1010986 ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1010987 to Friar's Bay ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1010988 where this rule was not followed precisely ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1010989 but the beach was very welcoming ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1010990 ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1010991 as we met this person who did Kenny Rodgers imitations ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1010992 and righted a live crab on the beach ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1010993 as the search for sea glass began ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1010994 causing us to walk the length of the beach ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1010995 ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1010996 ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1010997 ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1010998 and follow this trail ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1010999 with a few more drops of sea glass ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020001 and a missed turn that introduced us to this cow ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020002 before we made our way ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020003 to Happy Bay ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020004 ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020005 where there was some gathering of sea glass (a rare commodity on the island) ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020006 and the wave that knocked Suzanne and Seva down so that efforts to remove sand were undertaken ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020007 initially with little success judging from their rasta like hair ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020008 ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020009 as Peter explored means of sand removal ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020010 and Suzanne led the way down the beach ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020011 ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020012 ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020013 ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020014 to its rocky end ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020015 ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020016 where we met this couple -- he from England, she from the Phillipines ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020017 who took this picture of us ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020018 before we discovered the local beach bar which sold water, soda and beer ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020019 and recorded the beach sign ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020020 before finding this marker that gave the correct way to Happy Bay ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020021 as we headed back through the woods ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020022 ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020023 ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020024 to Friar's Bay where a few droplets of rain were falling and so we sat under cover at the restaurant ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020025 and enjoyed the menu ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020026 ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020027 ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020028 as our drinks arrived ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020029 selected from the drink menu ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020030 and the grill menu was produced ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020031 as our French fries arrived ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020032 along with a shared salad ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020033 and elegantly provided cutlery ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020034 as more drinks arrived ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020035 and our key was recorded ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020036 with this philosophical message ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020037 as we settled up with the psycho waiter ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020038 and claimed our chairs and umbrella with the rocks we had gathered. ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020039 ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020040 Back at home, Peter tried his hand at making pina coladas ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020041 with pineapple ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020042 ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020043 ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020044 and accompanied by cheese ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020045 and this small pizza from the boulangerie ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020046 as I recorded the artistic droplets on the counter ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020047 that came from my drink ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020048 and we tasted some of the pastries that had come from the boulangerie ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020049 along with the cooked pizza. ../../../Sabbat/2013/02.02-09.13St.Martin//P1020050
