With all the rain Aruba has received in the past several months, there have been plenty of rainbows. This one showed up off the coast of Palm Beach this morning. Take a look at the panorama by clicking on the photo to enlarge it.
Here’s another angle in regular format.
The hotels and government have been doing a good job of keeping the beach tidy as these waves of weather pass over the island. Plenty of people were out strolling, reading, or just relaxing. Hey, that’s what the beach is for.
Claudia’s is a little bar along Aruba’s Palm Beach. Claudia herself is a charming Colombian lady who likes to chat, sling drinks, and smile the whole time. Here’s a view of the workspace.
Tucked away at the Playa Linda timeshare, you can’t miss the place as you walk along the beachfront promenade. Stop in for a cold beverage, some conversation, and take in this Caribbean scene.
That will thaw your bones on a cold January night, eh? Works for me. I was loitering here a few days, brushing up on my Spanish and making some notes for another Aruba story. There are plenty to tell, more than I’ll ever finish, which is remarkable for such a small island.
Bon dia.
Well, an advanced copy of Under A Blue Flag just arrived. The cover looks great.
Under A Blue Flag is the sequel to An Island Away, my first book about Aruba. I highly recommend reading the first book before starting the second. Rest assured, your favorite characters are back. The book is schedule for release during the first week in February. It will also be available on Amazon’s Kindle.
Enjoy the reading!
Savaneta, Aruba, DWI. About 0530 in the morning the sun starts peeking over the horizon. From the front patio of my little shack here the dawn puts on as brilliant a show as dusk. Here’s what it looked like this morning.
That bright speck in the upper center right is Venus. (click on the photo to enlarge it) When traveling to a place I know or don’t, I do my best to catch the nature phenomena. They’re typically better than any show and the price can’t be beat.
Bon dia.
