Ocean was much more calm today. So, Saint Jean beach (east) was a good choice! Absolutely fantastic colors :)
Lunch based on Maya’s to go stuff. Waow, still a good experience!

St Barth 2008 – 4th day
Today, Flamand beach! It was really great, though the waves were really too big for my son…
Also a first nap ;)
And this evening, a cool dinner at Maya’s. Super place, extra service, also with children. Specially like when waitress says “you are from the island!”. Yes, for sure, we are working on it ;)
St Barth 2008 – 3rd day
This morning, we were at the Saline beach. Quite windy, cool waves to play in with my son. Then, my first cheesburger at Le Petit Bouchon and the afternoon in the villa’s pool. First sunburns, but nothing dramatic ;-)
I will try not to forget my mobile at the beach tomorrow… for the picture!
St Barth 2008 – 2nd day
Already at the beach at 07:30 this morning (jet-lagged) – St Jean west. Half the day in the ocean with my son. Great dinner at Pipiri in Gustavia (yesterday we started at Andy) where my wife had to chose the lobster she wanted to eat!
Good shopping start too, with a visit to the Blanc Bleu, Pati de St Barth and metis boutiques…

BLOG – Holidays!
My dear readers and friends:
We are flying again to St Barth in a few hours. Will be back on February 21.
Again, an impression of paradise, already *before* being there ;-)
I am *so* happy, I cannot tell you. I am a lucky guy.
If everything is working fine, I will publish regularly some pictures there.
In the meantime, take care!

Paul Watzlawick’s hammer –
Philippe and Nick reminded me about the hammer’s story of Paul Watzlawick, and Philippe just sent an email with this “hammer’s story” from the book The Situation is Hopeless, but not Serious.
Cool illustration….of quite a lot of real situations ;-)
a man wants to hang a painting. he has the nail, but not the hammer. therefore it occurs to him to go over to the neighbor and ask him to lend him his hammer.
but at this point, doubt sets in. what if he doesn’t want to lend me the hammer? yesterday he barely spoke to me. maybe he was in a hurry. or, perhaps, he holds something against me. but why? i didn’t do anything to him.
if he would ask me to lend him something, i would, at once. how can he refuse to lend me his hammer? people like him make other people’s life miserable. worst, he thinks that i need him because he has a hammer. this has got to stop!
and suddenly the guy runs to the neighbor’s door, rings, and before letting him say anything, he screams: “you can keep your hammer, you bastard!”
Reminds you something?
Trip preparation!
