Wanna go surfing

Alex checking waves (Grande Anse, Les Saintes last week).

Conch for lunch?

Yes please. Half a kilo, freshly caught, 7 Euros (if you're too lazy to pick them up from the bottom of the sea yourself, that is). Curry conch in the making....

The world in my eyes

Just a few of my favorite shots from this month. Location: La Désirade airport, Les Saintes. Model: the sexiest man alive. Here accompanied by one of the most genius songs/tracks ever written/produced. Don't forget to observe Dave on stage at 1:31 and 1:43 please, I'm dying of his impeccable sense of style and perfection in every goddam detail. Fucking dying.

Beautiful Saintes

We are back in the peaceful Saintes again. We've been around here now quite some times, so much that people have started to remember us in the bars and on the streets and it feels kind of homey to get back here once more. This main island of Les Saintes, Terre de Haut, is a lovely little fishing port where time moves slowly and people from an interesting melange of backgrounds seem to be living in a comfortable pace. Les Saintes is unique in the way that it is one of very few islands in the Lesser Antilles with a majority white population, the reason being that not much slaves were brought to or used here during the colonial times. Most of the early settlers were from Breton and Norman in France and apparently there is a strong Breton cultural influence on the island. Nevertheless they all seem to have mixed up well with the black/Caribbean people, and they have developed their own Saintois look which is quite interesting and equally beautiful.
