Day 70: St. Martin & St. Maarten

Aujourd'hui (or "today," as the French say) was wonderful. Chris ran for three mornings in a row (two, running hills where butterflies stuck to him like glue). 

After a lovely breakfast, we kayaked in the cove against pretty strong currents, then swam in the pool to relax. On a side note, we also saved a baby iguana from being stuck in the 150 meter-long pool indefinitely. AND we saved a beach umbrella that the winds had carried into the pool. The latter was less rewarding.

This evening, we visited the Dutch side of the island, St. Maarten, for a sunset cruise. For three hours, we ate, we drank (some more than others), and we rode the currents. At our table, we enjoyed the catamaran cruise with a couple from Kentucky and a mother-daughter duo from New York. The daughter from New York, Lisa (thought of you, Lise!), unfortunately did not do well with waves. So while Chris and I were on the nets egging the waves on, she was resting her head on the table. Poor lady. 

The cruise was a great way to end our last full day in the beautiful Caribbean. Tomorrow, after some food and sun, we'll head back up to Chi-town to cheer on the Blackhawks!
