Dear Source:
Upon reading about this contest, I found it somewhat bizarre nay say incredulous that just last night I stayed on the Internet for hours looking for a property that I could establish a cafe at as well as also desiring a location on St.John. (See "Essay Contest with Big Prize: a St. John Business"). To say that this would be a dream come true for a single 42 year old mother with two sons is definantly an understatement. Upon showing the site and listening to the theme music at Cafe Romas website, my 15 & 19 year old sons as well as myself were covered with goose bumps!
Could this actually be true? Its almost too much for the imagination to accept as reality. Crystal blue waters, the excited faces of travelers daily, doing what my family embarked upon some three generations ago. We have been serving taste bud tingling-belly filling goodness to people for many years and look forward to extending this to yet a fourth generation.
I definantly will be an entrant in this contest and look forward to the possibility of living a dream in paradise.
Hope to see and meet many of you Islanders soon!
