The world may be coming to an end

I have found something in St. Maarten that I do not think has an equal in the US! I never thought I'd say that, and I can't believe I'm putting it on the internet for all to see, but I think it's true. I went to the Sunday brunch at the Westin today, and I have yet to find another buffet that can even come close. It's $50 per person, but really not at all hard to get your money's worth. Instead of telling you about it, I'll just show you (with crappy iPhone pictures)

Oysters, muscles, crab claws, and huge shrimp


Typical breakfast stuff, but much better than usual (eggs with or without cheese, thick sliced bacon, pancakes, french toast, etc.)


Omelet station


Breads, donuts, pastries, fruits, deli meats


Sushi!


Fried rice station and pasta station


Indian food, beef stroganoff, various other things that I don't remember


Lamb carving station


Wilbur the suckling pig (they also had a baked ham carving station next to the pig)


The view from the restaurant


All you can drink champagne and mimosa (we went through quite a few of these). By "quite a few," I mean probably most of these bottles.


Amazing dessert buffet


Chocolate fountain with plenty stuff to dip in it. They also had white chocolate on the other side


Basically, amazing. Not a bad way to spend my last weekend on the island! We sat there for nearly the full three hours that the buffet was open, taking about 1/2 hour breaks to digest, and then eat more. I'm not sure that I'll eat again before I leave on Wednesday.
