Lazy River, Marriott, Aruba

The Marriott Surf Club in Aruba has a feature called the Lazy River built into the swimming pool. A current carries you around a loop. You can float along, enjoying the Aruba sunshine without exerting yourself. Here’s a relaxing video to show you what it looks like.

This being December, it’s nice to see a video like that, if for no other reason, to thaw your bones. Bon dia.

Cupcakes, Aruba

While wandering through the Paseo Herencia Mall in Aruba, DWI, I discovered a brand new kiosk called Cupcakes & Berries. Cupcakes are, of course, irresistible. Hence, I spoke with the nice lady and availed myself of several delicious cupcakes including a double chocolate and a red velvet. Check out my video visit:

This is a great stop after dinner or for a take-away treat. Don’t forget, they also have chocolate covered strawberries and some zany accessories as well. Bon dia from Aruba.

Fred (Aruba)

Enter from stage left, Fred. He’s a new stray cat that showed up on my patio last week. He’s a bit skittish, but not afraid to pull a caper on Tux, the other stray cat, who’s been around for several years. Fred sneaks in while Tux is asleep on a perch in a corner. Fred proceeds to munch on Tux’s food than darts away. Here’s a pic of Fred, the caper cat:

Clearly, Fred is related to Tux: brother, cousin, both? Not sure, but he’s a cool cat and will be well-treated here.

Cupcakes in Aruba

Who doesn’t love cupcakes? They’ve been gaining in popularity in the USA for years now, with cupcake trucks on the streets of NYC and shops opening up most everywhere. There’s now a place at the Paseo Herencia mall in Aruba, which means I can not escape one of my favorite things. Take a look.

Very nice lady working there. I plan on returning to make one of my short videos. Can’t resist the cupcakes, after all. Here’s a look at the current menu board for some selection deliberation.
