In this way, the museum provides an increasingly complete picture of the nature and ecology of St. Martin.

Comment on Twenty-nine Days by Amy Shapiro https://www.lesfruitsdemer.com/twenty-nine-days-2/#comment-127796 Wed, 01 Oct 2025 18:15:25 +0000 https://www.lesfruitsdemer.com/?p=19239#comment-127796 In 1987 we rented from Pastor Hodge and rented from him until Hurricane Irma in 2017. Hurricane Louis destroyed the original building and he added more apartments that were ready for us the following winter.
We watched his children grow up and he watched ours do the same. We were like family.
Les Alice’s was our happy place. He even named rooms after us. After Irma and some health issues, we have not been back. We miss it so much.
Mark, We remember when you lived in the building behind us. You have done a wonderful job preserving the Islands history.

It’s a pretty popular natural remedy in the region!

Spaniard. This was such a good read that brought back memories of my encounter with hurricane Irma in St. John. I hope the island of St. Martin is well!

The sting from the Jack Spaniards wasp is like getting stabbed with acid. Beware…they are very aggressive and defensive.

I held on to every word . I agree, your story should be made for the screen. Many people do not know this side of history or ever think of the trauma and how it impacted so many people. Thank you for sharing.
