GAMBLING IN ST.MARTEEN WEST INDIES

So here I am on the steps of the Lightening Casino in St. Marteen. We arrived a little early and they were not open yet. They do not stay open 24/7 like the casinos in the states. I did not win but my husband won just under a hundred bucks so we left there and went to a Dutch grocery store and bought stuff with our winnings. They have gambling on the dutch side of the island but not on the french side. And we were staying on the French side. It is the best side in our opinion.If you were not in the tropic's you would think you were in France. Everyone speaks french and all the hotels, eateries etc are mostly french owned as well as most of the workers in the resorts.

So today it is not tropical here nor will we be gambling. But it is a nice day so we will enjoy some sun as we did yesterday.
The sun came out yesterday about noon and boy did it come out. By early afternoon we had a big blue sky and bright blinding sun. I took a nice walk ah felt so wonderful. Then we hit the deck with faces to the sun. We stayed about two hours and we both got a little color. We loved letting that sweet warmth soak into our skin.

Our pizza was amazing. I am just getting better and better at making pizza. Initially I put too much water in the dough as it was sticky. But when I rolled it out I just added more flour and it was perfect. Crunchy just the way we like it. The pepperoni was so delish the best I ever ate. It did not have that spicy bite like the Gallo pepperoni has. It was more of a light spicy great tasting salami. Anyhow one mighty good pizza which we will enjoy for lunch today.

My husband has just run to Bi-mart. He enjoys going there, it is an easy store to shop. So I sent him with a little list and he is also going to get a case of his favorite wine. There are some good wine values at Bi-mart. He is also going to look for a battery operated lantern for our trailer. For when we camp where we do not have electricity the lantern will work well so we do not use all of our battery power. As we play cards till wee hours the lantern will work well for needed light. We are used to having motor homes and thus generators so the trailer will be a different experience when we dry camp. We are thinking of picking up a generator at some point.

Well I must get at my necessary house chores and walk. Yes WALK. So good to be back in the grove. But rain this next week so how will I cope then?
Well I am off to do nothing much on a lazy Sunday day.
