It's a blessing and a curse.
Blessing: They love this place and want to come back.
Curse: They love this place and want to come back.
Im going to have to break it to them that they'll have to pay their own room, board and freight next time!!!:biglaugh:

I was thinking of that nascent dilemma earlier. A World War I song came to mind "How Ya Gonna Keep 'em Down on the Farm (After They've Seen Paree?), but in this case it is more like "How Ya Gonna Leave 'em in DC, (After They've Seen St Jean?)".

We went to Tamarin tonight and shocker, everyone loved it. The kiddos were blown away by the setting.....until they started eating. Then the food took center stage.
Paco greeted me warmly like a long long lost friend, which is remarkable because until tonight we were a one (or possibly two) visit a year people and only in early December.
At at one point he came to our table to clear some dishes. Here is the commentary from the peanut gallery:
Daughter: He looks like a model
Son: That is one handsome guy
Anyhow, the food...,
Ceviche on a bed of avocado. My son said this was the best thing he's ever eaten (and he ate most of it!)
Arugula salad. The ladies shared this and it was gone before I could get a taste.

Foie gras with mango and sweet pepper. They called it "half cooked". Fortunately, the kids didn't like it! Served with bread for spreading.
Tuna entree with wok cooked veggies. Both my daughter and I got this one. Yum!
Steak and frites that my son had. Looks plain, but tasted great. Fortunately he couldn't finish it all so I was able to step in and save the day.

My wife had the homemade gnocchetti sardi pasta with shrimp and squid. Tragically, I did not sample this dish.

Dessert: profiteroles. (In honor of Missy!)

Not sure why a bunch of pic show up twice in this thread, but I'm chalking it up to the funky internet connection.
And thanks Amy! Part of me longs for the simpler times when neither of them like shrimp!

I bought a hunk of sushi grade tuna today which was roughly the size of a hubcap for 24 euro!!

We pretty much had Flamands to ourselves on this cloudy and windy day until that rain ran us off. There was a bit of (new) seaweed on the sand today but a barely noticeable amount in the water.
