…Boston to Aruba. NO SNOW TO SHOVEL.
I can only imagine who put this sign up on Palm Beach, Aruba. Probably a guy who had it with the cold and snow. Can’t blame him, can you? Still, there is sunburn and hangovers to worry about. It’s not all rainbows and lollipops in the Caribbean. Or maybe it is…

While taking an early morning walk on the beach this past weekend, I noticed plenty of electronic devices. This person had the complete rig with the iPod player and digital reader.
Nothing like making yourself at home on Palm Beach, Aruba. Of course, the electronic readers make it easier to tote around dozens of books without the weight and bulk. Have to love that. And the prices are usually a little less than print versions. As for music, well, you have to have your tunes. Just keep it low so you don’t disturb the rest of us chilling out under the Caribbean sun.
Bon dia.
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.
Aruba’s Palm Beach is a beautiful stretch of sand. That may be the understatement of the blog. Recently, a few storms passed north of the island. The beach suffered some erosion but now is looking good again. Here’s a panorama taken this morning. (Don’t forget to click on the photo to enlarge it in a separate window.)
The lady is having a nice stroll like many people do during the early morning hours. You can see that fine sand, warm water, and the welcoming palapas. Bring your favorite books, beverages, and friends. Here’s another look, this one angled south toward the Holiday Inn.
There’s a few empty chairs waiting for you. There’s also some wind surfing gear and a couple of boats if you’re looking for a more active endeavor. The hotels did a great job of cleaning up the beaches. These sweeps continue on a daily basis to ensure a comfortable visit.
Bon dia.
