Je t'aime

We have very much enjoyed St. Barth. The number one thing about our visit here is the people. We have run into New Yorkers, crazy locals, strange topless young women doing water aerobics to show off their boobs, and one 50+ woman who has had every single kind of plastic surgery and has lips to puffed that the only thing she can do with them is smoke. We watched her for three days at Eden Rock just trying to figure out if she is actually human!!!!
Colleen figured out a great secret of life... how to be sure to get some free drinks!!! She has been working very hard on her French which has been coming along well. She can now order, as directions, find the bathroom and tell me to jump off the boat and drown. Soooo... we were having lunch at Eden Rock and we had a very nice, attractive young waiter who clearly had an eye for the young women, including Colleen. He brought us a complimentary Hibuscus rum shot after lunch which we very much enjoyed. When he took them away Colleen pointed at him and declared in a loud voice so all could hear, je t'aime!!!!!! (I love you!!!) he responded 'Je t'aime aussi maddam!!!!! He then blushed, bowed and ran off. I told Colleen what had happened and she turned into a very attractive tomato. Moments later he returned with a whole bottle of this special rum, winked at Colleen, bowed and said it was on him. Now every bartender on the island thinks that my wife loves them.

Read the NEB article. We have a Swan 46, Tango, at NEB. My grandfather was a graduate of American University in Beirut. Where is your restaurant in NYC? I presume it's a Lebanese restaurant and we're always looking for a good one!
