The "SXM Visual Memories: #2" Story

It was an ordinary day. During the 21 days we spent on the island I had my camera in my hand every one of those days.  Years ago Carol used to say, "Are you taking you camera with you AGAIN!"  She now knows better than to say anything, since she realizes that my camera is part of my persona.  I would feel ill at ease without it.  Seems there is always something to document or record for my scrapbook, slideshow or posterity.  Well, my friends and readers, you are going to get a chance to see a few more of my close to 1,900 photographs that I took during our annual trek to the island of St. Martin.  Because of a bum foot this trip, I wasn't able to make my early morning rounds of the beach bars and community of Orient before the area came to life, but I think you will be able to get an understanding of, and feel for, the flair of what is known as "The Friendly Island."  Enjoy once again!  It was another extraordinary day in the life of an ordinary guy.  PS - Click on photos to enlarge.
