Iles des Saintes
Have you ever heard of them?
Three tiny French governed islands off the coast of Guadeloupe commonly know as les Saintes.
Quaint, pristine and picturesque.
Speaking French is as absolute must, so we only visited the town on the main island briefly.
Instead we ventured over to one of the other uninhabited islands where the sports crew from our pirate ship had all the toys and were just waiting for someone to come play.
So we snorkeled and sailed,
and on the advice of the the young crew hiked to the top of the island
where we found the remnants of Fort Josephine.
Along with amazing scenery,
and a few wild goats.
So fun to go exploring and have the place all to ourselves.
Just an amazing day.

You are making me very eager to travel! I enjoy your blog and your daughters so very much. I've gotten some really great ideas of things to do with my grandchildren, especially with my 2 year old grandson who is very athletic and loves to be outside like your grandsons do. A million thanks for all the great ideas you and Kate share. You both have such wonderful writing skills and so many clever ideas of fun activities to do with children and grandchildren and I look,forward very much to reading each new post from each of you!
What a gorgeous place to go on vacation. Those first buildings look like ones in New Orleans. The remains of the fort are so interesting. I know you all had a great time even if your French was severely limited :-) I had forgotten about the slots in the back of the medicine cabinets for the old razor blades. That is where I had seen them. This one was in the tile wall. Hope you all are surviving this winter blast of MORE snow and miserable weather. I am very tired of it. Ready for spring already.
