Story

We landed in Sint Maarten. After deporting, we took a water taxi to the downtown area and walked up and down Front Street and did some souvenir shopping. Then we hiked up the hill to see the old fort, which was much smaller and run down than the ones in Puerto Rico. It got pretty warm, almost 86°. Much warmer than we were used to in Utah. We went back to the boat around 3:00.
