Still in St-Martin....besides provisionning, we have been visiting with fellow boaters, exchanged ideas about cruising routes and attempted to make good pictures of Marigot...it is actually difficult may be because there are so many cars parked everywhere or because the streets are narrow and do not allow good shots...anyhow, yesterday, we climbed Fort Louis and tried to get a fell for the climate on St-Martin during the late 18 century, when French and English were at wars and disputed every inch of territory available.




We then visited the Art Gallery L'Escale Des Iles on the waterfront of Marigot. There was an excellent phtography exposition on Haiti as well as other very original work of arts on wood and in ceramics. We also took photographs of "gingerbread style houses" common here inth Caribbean.




To end the day, we went to the French supermarket and bought a couple more delcacies such as jams of Bonne Maman, Pates, Gin from Spain, etc...
