The Bent Page

Here is a photo taken from high upon a hill in Aruba. The view looks to the west, down over an area known as Rooi Koochi and then the fishing village of Savaneta.

Aruba is a desert island, full of tall cactus and Divi trees. The constant trade winds give the Divi tree its distinctive shape, which always points to the west.

I rode my bicycle to the top of this hill which features a massive water tank. The ride is among the toughest on the island since the grade is beyond steep. This is good for exercise and to use all those gears on my mountain bike. Of course, some day I may have a heart attack doing this, and no one but the local goats will take notice.
