- First Day in the Sun
Baie Rouge
25 years ago Baie Rouge was almost our own private beach, with one or two other families spread out along about a quarter mile of sand. It has changed a little – more people on the sand for sure. More people meant there is now a beach bar and “restaurant”, with a friendly local staff and an outstanding musician. We got non-stop American standards from Sinatra to Sixties classics – and a muted trumpet in between. The music has to be a weekend only event and comes with the blender drinks that always seem like a good idea for the first 24 hours of vacation.
Sunburn
Fair skinned grandkids, what seemed like a lot of sunblock (?), and plenty of energy in and out of the water turns out to be the formula for a little sunburn and some worn out little Hoeys.
Around the House
Terre Basse is a rocky piece of land, not all that
Gecko???
hilly by St Martin standards. The area around each of the houses here is nicely landscaped, based on what we could see from the road. Our place was certainly well maintained, with a resident cat and a resident caretaker in a house just down the road. Cat aside, the biggest wildlife we saw were lizards, Gecko wannabes.
