More St. Maarten! (Finally, I know)

So here are the pictures from our trip that you have been anxiously awaiting!

One day we went to this little deserted island called Ilet Pinel where we snorkeled and laid out. We also ate a great lunch there (I know, deserted but still with 2 restaurants).

Here is the beach camp that we set up for the day... In order to get to Ilet Pinel you have to take a little dingy boat back and forth so here we are enjoying the ride...

Our favorite event of the whole thing was Loterie Farms - it is this awesome ropes course/ zip line course that was suspended in several mango trees in the mountains of St. Maarten. It was a really long obstacle course (took us like 2 hours!). We got to go independently through all the obstacles which included rope swings and rope bridges that were suspended about 20-40 feet in the air at different points. We also hooked ourselves on to the zip lines throughout the 2 hour long course. Here are some fun pictures...

After it was all over (harnesses and all)...

Adam up in the trees...

Me navigating a similar bridge (look at how focused I am)...

We also went to several awesome restaurants, here are some pictures of us enjoying those... We have to find good Tex-Mex wherever we go, so Jimbo's was the place in St. Maarten. And it was SO sad because they had $3 margaritas and I couldn't have any.To enjoy some of these great sights we rented the fabulous all-American car ever... the Kia Picante. The Kia and it's 10 inch tires did not fair so well on the St. Maarten roads. We navigated several potholes that were much bigger than the tires themselves. And as you can see - at St. Maarten we also encountered other obstacles while driving around the island... COWS...

So all in all it was an excellent vacation for our (early) three year anniversary - very fun and very relaxing!
