While I was mainly tasked with writing about history, St. Martin is still a Caribbean island and I was able to get plenty of beach time in. Here are some of my favorite spots!

Sint Maarten has what is called the world’s tallest zip line, at more than 1000 feet. This is the Flying Dutchman, and yes, it goes all the way down that. It was awesome! @visitstmaarten.bsky.social

From the ruins of Fort Louis, the French capital of Saint-Martin, Marigot, is just stunning! The fort was built in the late 18th century, but decommissioned in the 1850s. @visitstmaarten.bsky.social

Back from St. Martin, and wow what a wonderful time it was! There will be 6 articles coming, starting next week, so I hope you’re all looking forward to those.

And in the meantime, we will do a couple historical threads on here. Because I love those!

A pic of me!
