I figured I would put up a black and white to give a little different perspective of the place, without all the beautiful colors of the water. It always amazed me how a little piece of land out in the middle of the ocean could have so much life and activity...cars in traffic, boats coming and going, a medical school, and so much more. The little city you see at the base of the mountains is called Marigot, and is the capital of the French side of the island (the northern part of the island is French, and the southern Dutch). The island thus has two names...St Martin is the French name, and Sint Maarten the Dutch name. You can also see some of the propeller at the top left of the photo. Tomorrow will be Mariah Carey's house.
