Taking the Water Taxi

So, one of the coolest things about where Ryan and I live is that we have a water taxi! You just walk down to the marina and there he is: a guy that drives you anywhere you like on the lagoon. Then when you are ready to go, you call his number and he will come back and pick you up. So simple yet so amazing! For brunch this morning, a few of the spouses met at Sarafina's in Marigot on the French side and I decided to take the water taxi there! Here are some pictures of my journey there:
This is a picture of where we live from the lagoon. We are in the tower on the left.

Beautiful mountains everywhere

I like this boat

Beautiful

The place where we had brunch, Sarafina's is a delicious french restaurant. Here is a review that I found:

 "Open-air patisserie on Front de Mer, in Marigot, across from marketplace. Very European feel to its indoor/outdoor seating, service, and clientele. Business people, locals, and tourists can dine (panini's, sandwiches, etc.), and drink teas, coffees, bottled waters and beer. Gelato is available in one corner, while the rest of Sarafina's looks like a pastry and bread lover's paradise. The air is filled with the language of many nations and the aroma of newly baked whole grain breads, luscious strawberry and raspberry-mounded and chocolate pastries, among many delectable others. Stock up on baguettes, brioche and beignets before you climb up to the nearby St. Louis Fort, or en route to Pic Paradis and the beaches beyond!"

So, doesn't that sound fantastic? Here are some pictures as well:







I am definitely going to need to start a diet here pretty soon!
