Near Santa Cruz, Aruba, DWI, you’ll find this giant old anchor. What’s new is the QR poster attached to it.
Anchor and QR code at Santa Cruz, Aruba
Not sure where the QR codes sends you. I don’t have my iPhone here to scan it. This location is quite a distance and altitude from the sea. Just goes to show, you never know what you’ll find on a small island in a big world. It’s also good to have landmarks like this in a place where the road signs are not the best. Bon dia.
Arrived safely in Aruba and promptly set off for one of my favorite combos: Coca-Cola and the Bandeja Paisa platter as prepared at Casa Vieja. Here’s the photographic evidence:
With a banner like that on display, you have to stop in for an ice-cold Coca-Cola. And so I did, pairing it with the magnificent Bandeja Paisa tray as seen here:
That my dear friends is one BIG feed. Ate most of all of it due to the skipping of breakfast in preparation to consume large. Naturally, did not have supper. Anyway, more photos and videos coming from Aruba, so stay tuned here at The Bent Page. Bon did from Aruba!
Tux, the little stray cat that hangs out by shack in Aruba, showed up mere minutes after my arrival on the island. This morning, I found him on the patio chair, awaiting his rations. Here he is:
Tux on the patio chair.
This guy does a darn good job keeping the small varmints away. Hence, he’s in my good graces and entitled to liberal feeding and protection from his nemesis, Ashburn, another cat that prowls the area but is quite mean. Tux and Ashburn got into a few scraps back in March. The fur was flying. Seems like Tux has held his territory this time, with no dents in his small hull. Plus, Tux is a handsome bugger, friendly, too.
Dark Currents is the title of my next novel. It’s a thriller set on my favorite island of Aruba. Here’s the video trailer for the book.
A little scary, very intriguing, with enough twists to keep you reading to the very last page. San Nicolaas Police Chief Jules Calenda, who you met in my novels An Island Away and Under A Blue Flag figures in the story, but there’s a lot more to it than that. Suffice it to say, two people go snorkeling, one comes back, or did they? Dark Currents will be released on 26 June 2012. You can pre-order the paper version from Amazon.com or get the Kindle version on the 26th. Enjoy the story!
