It’s dawn here in Aruba, the sun peeking over the horizon to the east. Here’s the view from the front patio.
Another sunrise as seen from Savaneta, Aruba, DWI.
A beautiful sunrise is something many people miss. Most like to wait for the sunset. But there’s nothing like a show first thing in morning to start the day right.
Many people enjoy a morning walk on the beach when visiting Aruba. This time of the year, there’s plenty of room for everyone, as you can see in this photo of Eagle Beach.
Eagle Beach, Aruba, November 2013.
I took that picture with a cell phone. Turned out fairly well. The morning light makes things sparkle. Planning on making a TV commercial not far from this spot.
Stopped in for lunch at Fermin’s Bar BQ today. A friend recommended the joint, telling me the cook won the local bbq contest three years in a row. This place is easy to find, from the high-rise hotel area, take the road to the main intersection in Noord, then turn right and keep looking on your left. It’ll be easy to find because there’s usually plenty of cars there and a big sign. Here’s the video visit:
I enjoyed the ribs and chicken platter, which comes with two sides. My regular sides were the cole slaw and garlic mashed potatoes. I added the baked beans because baked beans always go with bbq. It’s a hearty meal and much better than the regular grilled ribs you find at so many places around Aruba. Also, the beer is ICE-COLD which helps tamp down the Aruban sun. Prices are local, the scene is local, and you’ll fit right in. Bring your friends for lunch and enjoy!

Flights, Camera, Action FINALIST
Back in August, I submitted a video to the Flights, Camera, Action contest sponsored by American Airlines. The objective was to talk about a trip that changed your business. Well, it was way back in 1994 that I took my first American Airlines flight to Aruba and that journey changed my business career in the most dramatic way. As it turns out, my video is a finalist in this competition and I humbly ask for your vote to make it a winner. Follow this link, watch my video (for Hawser Press) and VOTE. By voting, you’ll also be eligible for 25,000 frequent flier miles, which is a nice perk.
