The Prinsendam glided in to our dock at this bustling little city. Off came the bikes. This country, like Guadeloupe, is one of four municipal extensions of France. Streets are narrow and the traffic finally slows for an extended lunch. Following advice from a welcoming tourism official, we caught a ferry to a quieter beach area and village about 20 minutes down the coast. We now have concluded that...much of these islands are quite hilly; a little much for our deux bicyclettes rouge. So after a while, we made our way by return ferry back to town; visiting the vegetable market and internet hamburger cafe. The island has a mix of French and a few Canadian tourists; drawn by the quiet ambiance of this less sophisticated island outpost of France.
The bigger story today is we await word on "Match Day" for Adam when he learns which hospital he will begin working at. The contenders are Austin, Palo Alto, Denver, Washington and New York... and the winner is.... AUSTIN!!! Hurray Hurray!!!!!
