As we arrived in St Marteen, there
were 4 other cruise liners on the port and about 2 hrs later another one came,
as you can imagine there were a lot of people there.
The place it’s very nice, beautiful
beaches, however there is all stores. They are high end stores and they are all
duty free, of course everybody was buying jewelry, lap tops, bosses systems,
you name it.
I walked all those streets and then
I went to the neighborhoods with run down shacks and colorful houses, where the
dogs and chickens run loose. As I was walking back to the centre I hear this
lovely chorus on a Baptist church singing. I always wanted to see one of the
services; I have seen them in movies as most of us have but never for real, so
I went into the church. What a lovely service, and the people were so friendly,
they welcome all the visitors and they gave us the microphone to introduce ourselves,
we sang and danced and walked around the church shaking hands with everybody
and then more singing, very nice, I really enjoyed it. 
They gave me couple of books but I
left them at the church because I will never read them and I did not want to
throw them out, bad enough that I went into the church out of curiosity.
In the afternoon there was a
children parade, very lively, all the children were dressed in carnival
customs, lots of music, very nice.
Back to the ship for dinner and
then dance the night away.
