Beers in St. Maarten

[Caribbeachbum]

In addition to the Italians — and breakfast was really good today — we've found a locals hangout called Negril. Surprisingly, the cuisine is Jamaican. We probably won't make it to Marigot, but more good eats are in the offing, or so I hope.

Summer reading:

I arrived reading "The Long Hard Road Out of Hell," which is the autobiography of Marylin Manson. It is a perfect storm of appalling and hilarious and outrageous and evil.

I finished that on Tuesday, and started on "One Girl, One Dream." I'm finding that I have more admiration for this 14-year-old girl than I do for many adults I've known in my life. If you don't know her story, I strongly urge you read Laura Dekker's book.

We went to Carnival City last night for the Calypso competition. I had no idea that Calypso music was so political! From religion to spousal abuse to St. Maarten independence, every song had an agenda. It was a good time, and we had some fantastic island barbeque.

My wife and I debated briefly about whether to go to Mexico or St. Maarten. I'm quite happy with our decision, despite that Mexico always provides more bang for the buck.

Ah yes! The Dirty Sanchez! I got propositioned for weed, cocaine, and hookers there! LOL


They did have a mean margarita though!

PS; Don't eat at the Marina Royale restaurants they're crap.. especially the so called Thai.

The Thai place is closed for over a month now. However, Le Crossantaria is the best place for Breakfast on either side of the island. I like the French side food much better than the Dutch side.
