Andrew & Cristina

Alright, so that’s a lie. We’ve BEEN back from our trip to St. Maarten for a few days, but I got a bit lazy.

My parents’ visit to Saba was quite lovely, though I’m sure they found it rather boring. I guess I’ve gotten used to the Caribbean lifestyle a little more than I thought I did. I’m pretty sure we showed them most everything that’s of any interest on Saba and we still managed to do it in under three days, with time to twiddle one’s thumbs at the end.

St. Maarten was a lot more exciting and full of things to see and do, but I’m surprised to say that it made me long for our little island. Between the plentiful restaurants, undersea boat ride, dinner cruise, and the butterfly farm, we were certainly not bored for a single minute of our stay there. I can’t wait to return to some of those places in August, but I’ll be very glad to know it’s only a vacation and that I have the peace and quiet of Saba to return to.

In the meantime, our lives here on Saba are rather boring. Everyone seems to be off the island, which makes things extra quiet. Andrew has been “gardening” if you can call it that and he’s even managed to mulch part of our yard. My projects include trying not to kill a couple of herbs we just planted from seed in a small indoor planter and attempting to workout on a somewhat regular basis. We’ll see how that works out.
