I mean I love everything about the islands ...... EXCEPT the fact that we can feel totally secluded from the rest of the world because of a cloud!!! (Well actually a lot of dark clouds arranged in Tropical storms!!.... But still!)<br />It is soooo frustrating!!<br />Grrrrrr!!!<br /><br />All right, anger is gone!!<br /><br />I am now almost totally relaxed<br /><br />Well, let's go play video games now<br /><br />See ya urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:aurore_stmartin:1841 2006-05-29T22:46:43Z 2006-05-29T22:46:43Z <table> <tbody> <tr> <td><a href="http://pics.livejournal.com/aurore_stmartin/pic/00002pgs/g3"><img height="240" alt="Arrival in Prickly Pear - May 28, 2006" width="320" border="0" src="http://pics.livejournal.com/aurore_stmartin/pic/00002pgs/s320x240" /></a></td> <td><strong>Arrival in Prickly Pear - May 28, 2006</strong><br /></td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="http://pics.livejournal.com/aurore_stmartin/pic/00003w6q/g3"><img height="240" alt="Prickly Pear - Beach and Coral Reef Barrier leading to the Shark nursery - May 28, 2006" width="320" border="0" src="http://pics.livejournal.com/aurore_stmartin/pic/00003w6q/s320x240" /></a></td> <td><strong>Prickly Pear - Beach and Coral Reef Barrier leading to the Shark nursery - May 28, 2006</strong><br /></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:aurore_stmartin:1787 2006-05-29T22:34:29Z 2006-05-29T22:34:29Z Un ange frappe a ma porte - Natasha St Pier <p>Yesterday, for the French Mother's Day, my Mum and I went on a friend's catamaran (I actually work there as a skipper) to a deserted island named Prickly Pear. It is about 50 miles North from St Martin.<br /><br />It was fantastic. I know, I have been there like so many times.... but it is still breathtaking!<br />I made a lot of pictures!! We caught a fish and cooked fish and meat on a barbecue. We also ate salad, rice, French cheese, fruits and the cake that I had brought.&nbsp;<br /><br />After eating and a nap on the catamaran's net, we swam to the Coral Reef Barrier and jumped in a 3 foot high lagoon called Shark nursery. All sharks there are babies.<br />We played with them and I did not even have my camera with me at that time ... damn it!!<br /><br />Then we went back and watched a wonderful sunset on our way back. Fantastic!! My Mum and I have just one sunburn but we had so much fun!<br /><br />Life here in the Caribbean is going wonderfully, except that my nights are agitated with nightmares!! I hate those dreams that make you shiver when you think about them!!<br /><br />Alright, I need to go jump in&nbsp; the pool!! There is a water volley party starting between my parents! I'd better go.<br /><br />Take care<br /><br />Aurore<br /><br /></p> urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:aurore_stmartin:1348 2006-05-19T18:58:00Z 2006-05-19T18:58:00Z <a href="http://pics.livejournal.com/aurore_stmartin/pic/00001tyr/s640x480"><img alt="" src="http://pics.livejournal.com/aurore_stmartin/pic/00001tyr/s640x480" /></a> urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:aurore_stmartin:834 2006-05-19T18:36:33Z 2006-05-19T18:37:58Z The sound of St Martin's nature <div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">Sorry Jill, but I needed to add that !!</div> <div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">It is sooo funnny !!!</div> <div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">&nbsp;</div> <div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">Jill's Mom:&nbsp;So what nationality was the artist of ::points to one::</div> <div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><strong>Jill: French</strong></div> <div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">Jill's Mom:&nbsp;Oh, well that's nice.

Apocryphal.<br />Some of you might know, but I don't. So I look in my French/English translating dictionary for the translation.<br />It says "Apocryphe" !! How is that supposed to help me!!<br />I finally look for the definition in a French encyclopedia that states "a religious book which origin is doubtful." I then try to answer the question knowing that valuable piece of information! .... But I happen to be wrong!<br />Frustrated, I look at the explained answer that says: "Apocryphal is used in the GRE as being something false, corrupted." How the hell am I supposed to know that the test makers decided to use the word the way they wanted!<br />So upset for that attempt to fool me (there might be a conspiracy behind that ! ;-p ), I decided to go take a nap on the beach next to where I live: Orient Bay!<br /><br />If you feel as frustrated as I am about that, do not hesitate to leave a comment! It will make all of us feel better.<br /><br />Take care<br /><br /><br />Aurore urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:aurore_stmartin:369 2006-05-15T18:04:53Z 2006-05-15T18:04:53Z La Voix des Sages All right, picture that!<br /><br />I always promised myself that I would NEVER register for on-line programs that make you lose too much time!<br />And here you go! Jessie almost obliged me to get a Facebook account (well, it was not that dramatic; although I should say that she dragged me in front of the computer to sign-in).<br />And many of my other friends kept on asking me when I would open a LiveJournal account.<br />To all of you ..... Here you go !<br /><br />I do not intend to spend too much time on it because I want to graduate and enter in Vet school....<br />But I promise that I will occasionally update it .... with short bus moments and unique times that make our group of friends a family away from home.<br /><br />I love you all for many reasons, one being for making me do things that I would not do without you.<br /><br />Love <br /><br />Aurore
