-Serve
St. Barths is beautiful because of the ingenious alliance between the place that Nature made, and the place that men and women have made within it. It's more of a feeling than a catalog of sights, sounds, and smells. Some corner of our minds recognizes that the people here have evolved a way of life that has resulted in things like charm, pride, peace and plenty. - St. Barths People resemble rural Americans of seventy five years ago. They are modest and unpretentious.. A man's word is honored, and business can be done on a handshake. They keep their homes freshly painted, their yards raked. What little class distinction exists between them is economic, not social, and is therefore subject to change at any moment.
- Family life means a great deal, and they have a keen sense of family history.
