So last month, Allure- the worlds largest cruise ship, docked in St. Maarten, so a friend of mine and I went to go check it out before we went grocery shopping. Since I now have my Nikon with me, I had a good time playing around with it. Here are some pictures from that day:
-
- St. Maarten’s special drink- Guavaberry!
-
- There she is, in all her majesty, Allure of the Seas.
-
- Freaky looking little critter that posed for me for a minute in the middle of scrambling around. So cute… and alien like!
-
- All in my hands :)
-
- Need I say more?
-
- Mint flavored, I believe…
-
- The guy who did much of the engineering work for Star Wars’ Yoda created a museum in St. Maarten to show it all off.
-
- A map of St. Maarten on the ground- I’m sitting next to Cupecoy, which is where AUC is.
-
- There is a pineapple on top of the court house. Enough said.
-
- Oh good ol’ SXM’s taping job… it’s supposed to say “Old Street”
-
- A-MAZING Belgian chocolate place… so so good. And we got a ‘local’s’ discount :)
-
- The top left & bottom right ones are chilli peppers in milk chocolate (LOVED it!), top right is raspberry, middle piece with the white chocolate cup is wasabi flavored with a hazelnut (interesting combo, SOO yummy!), and the bottom left is plain dark chocolate.
-
- White chocolate block with a custom design printed on it- completely edible and you can do whatever custom design you desire!
-
- You can NEVER go wrong with chocolate covered cherries, unless you’re Sohail and are allergic to cherries :P
-
- One last look at this beauty!
-
- The most AMAZING carpet I found at Cost-U-Less when we went grocery shopping after our little adventure.
So in other news, the other day I was walking home and I saw two dogs that were tied to each other by their tails. Like actually stuck to each other. No idea what happened there, but they were mighty confused… and I think I was just as confused when I saw them like that. At first I thought it was another dog licking the other one’s butt and then when I walked closer I realized they were stuck and kept trying to pry apart… it was sooo sad! It seemed like an act of animal cruelty more than anything else. Why someone would do something so effed up I really have no idea. I’m not even a big fan of dogs, but that’s beyond sick. I wonder what PETA would have to say about this….
