the island is 80 square miles, has 60,000 residents, 200 churches, 1 mosque and 1 synagogue (and one black hebrews congregation that meets on saturdays at their restaurant).
going to see JL tonight was just what i needed. after i found parking on the side of one of many tiny streets in the former dutch fortress neighborhood turned funky downtown area, i began searching for 'the mix.' the guy who gave me directions said: "walk down until you reach the water, and take a left on the boardwalk, you'll see it straight ahead." it was just gorgeous - imagine, a restaurant right on the water that you need to walk down the boardwalk to get to! also amazing on an island that has no sidewalks in rural areas has copius boardwalks by the shore.
Here's JL and his buddy S jamming out. They played a mix of jazz standards and originals. I drank overpriced lemonade and flipped through tourist info guides while sitting on the couch:
JL and I got to chill out a bit afterward and catch up. we are standing in front of something that looks like a silo but was once used for sugar, which used to be a major export from St. Croix.
