White Peacock, Aruba

In fifteen years rambling about Aruba, I thought I saw most everything there was to see. However, yesterday I happened upon a white peacock. Here’s a photo to prove it:

I was driving up through Jamanota on my way to San Fuego, which is just about the center of the island. There is a small farm-like area there, where all sorts of animals can be found. Sure enough, by the side of the road was the creature pictured above. Amazing.

You just have to take the fork in the road when you come to it. You might happen upon something fascinating.

Bon dia from Aruba.

Underground, Aruba

Underground Aruba is a place to find hot rods, clothes, and other “kustom kulture” items. The storefront is located on L.G. Smith Blvd, on the access road and you can’t miss it. Here’s one of the hot rods.
