Had a good day today. Didn't do anything. ..didn't even leave my apartment..but had some good conversations with people. 

\Yesterday i went on the bus for the first time. I had no real destination in mind, butif I am going to understand the surroundings in which I live, the only thing to do is to explore and not wait for an invitation to do so. I went to this one bar that's by the airport.
 If you google pictures of St. Maarten and airplanes, you will see some pictures come up that seem to be photoshoped..where the plane looks so close to the ground as it is landing, that you think it could not be real.....but it is. I'm sitting thereat this outdoor bar that I've neve seen or heard of before, and in the distance I see 2 bright lights in the sky. There was a storm on the horizon so the clouds were ominous, yet calm. I glance away, take a swig of my beer, look again...and the lights are much bigger now...Also I can see , however faintly...wings of an aircraft. Now, I'm no pilot but Im thinking to myself, this looks kinda low. The airport is right across the street, behind me...and when I say right across the street...I dont mean in the distance, I mean right across a one way street, seperated by a fence one could easily hop, kind of distance.. So by now im intrigued. I pick up my beer, walk directly where I believe the plane will be over head and I stand there and wait....it getting closer and closer...and LOWER with every second.
 I hear the rumble of the plane louder than I ever have before. I can see that the plane is leaning from side to side, as the pilot adjusts his position for the final decent. As this huge 747 reaches directly over head..I shit you ot...If I had climbed to the top of that fence with a golf club...I would have made contact with the belly of this plane...and he fence is only about 7 feet high...slightly above my head by less than a foot...so yea thats what people do..have a beer and watch panes come in and go. When these planes are ready for takeoff, the blast you feel from these jets can lift a person of the ground, Im sure...I got out of the way of that one. That was interesting. Perhaps tomorrow I will go on another bus and see some more...if it doesnt rain...perhaps even if it does. Who knows what tomorrow will bring.

Everything takes time.
