Exploring Les Saintes 2.24.24

Les Saintes Guadeloupe

After a day on the boat, we decided to go into town to take a walk to a different part of Terre de Haute.  We walked past the airport and Grand Anse Beach.  This area was fairly rural and several houses had goats enclosed in fences.

The houses here were nice and had private yards.  As we continued to walk, we came to Plage de Roderigue.  This was a nice little cove where some people were snorkeling. 

After our walk, we stopped in at a local boulangerie (bakery) and I finally was able to purchase a pain au chocolate, which is croissant-like bread with chocolate chunks inside.  It was delicious.  Of course, we also purchased a baguette, which was fresh and tasty.

In the afternoon we jumped overboard and went snorkeling.  While the snorkeling wasn’t fantastic, it was fairly good.  We saw two large Caribbean lobsters.  I also saw two brown eels with spots on them, called Sharptail eels.  The first one was fairly small and seemed to be having a blast playing with some fish.  The second one I saw was a little larger and was swimming in my general direction, though not directly towards me.  That is when I decided it was time to return to the boat.  It was an enjoyable snorkel.
