Life in the Caribbean

I have to admit that life in the Caribbean is great. To be surrounded by swaying palm trees and aquamarine water that is so clear that you see straight to the bottom brings nothing but a smile to my face. I have to pinch myself sometimes when I wake up and look out my window and see sunshine and sand.

It is still strange however to be lying on a beach in mid-January when you are so use to bundling up in layers of cloths, bracing yourself for the biting cold and digging your car out of three feet of snow. Living on St Maarten has convinced me that it is unnatural for human beings to be living in frightfully cold conditions, reaffirming my belief that those who choose to live in the prairies are crazy.

All in all living on St Maarten has been wonderful so far and I am looking forward to exploring all that the island has to offer.
