A wonderful day at Pinel



Today we went to Pinel, a little island off of St Maarten. It is a 10 minute boat ride and a beautiful island. It looked like the weather wasn't going to cooperate but it quickly turned around and we had great weather. We swam, and hiked, and snorkeled. The fish in this area must be fed by snorkeling tours b/c when the fish see you coming they all come around and start circling. It is pretty cool...we saw all kinds of very pretty fish. After all we did we were so tired we couldn't wait to get off the island and back on the boat by the end of the day. Here are some pics of the fun we had.
The top picture is us once we made it all the way to the top of our hike! It wouldn't have been as difficult if I wouldn't have had a 2 year old to get up the hill and if I would have something better than a cheap pair of flip flops. The bottom picture is a beach on the opposite side from the nice beaches of Pinel.
Another couple of pics of the discovered beach. Below are my pals Sheryl and Kara and the kids Jon and Skylar.

I good day was had by all and we are EXHAUSTED! The kids will sleep well tonight for sure!
