We spent the day on the French side of the island in Marigot. It is the Capitol and main city on the French side of the island.
There is a market on Wednesday and Saturday and we wanted to buy some fresh fruit and veggies. The selection was small, as was the town, without a lot to recommend it. We wandered around unsuccessfully searching for an ATM that would take Tom's debit card. So far our credit union at home has not issued us cards with a chip, which is all the machines we have found accept.
After a fresh fruit bowl snack at a well known French pastry shop (nothing Gluten Free for me, and Tom was maintaining his weight loss pursuit) we returned to our car and left town.
On the way home we found the island's largest grocery store Le Grande Marche and filled in items that we couldn't get (or forgot) at the Costco-esque store a few days earlier. Another $120. 00 in groceries later, and a trip to the ATM that we finally found that would take a non chip debit card, and we headed back home to finish the day at our pool.
