Here’s a photo looking over the Caribbean from Eagle Beach, Aruba. Those sailboats are racing along while the tanker sits at anchor.
Mean time, that handsome couple takes their morning stroll. Just one of the things that makes Aruba a fine destination.
Bon dia.
Here’s another video of a departing flight from Queen Breatrix Airport, Aruba, DWI.
I can’t get enough of that view.

The wind turbine project continues here in Aruba. All the foundations have been built and now the towers, generating units, and blades have arrived. A team assembles them even as this post goes up. The first photo shows the truck that delivers the generating units arriving on site and being unloaded.
To grasp the scale of these units, consider them beside that Toyota Yaris parked along side the truck. The next photo shows the base into which fits the tower and the nacelle which houses the generating unit.
Finally, you can now see one wind turbine completely assembled and the next one in progress.
Let’s have one more look at that, shall we?
Reports indicate this facility will be producing energy in January 2010. I hope so. The wind blows strong in Aruba. No reason not to make some electricity. Why not built another ten or twenty or thirty?

City Lounge, or CILO, is a new restaurant located at the Seaport Mall in Oranjestaad, Aruba, DWI. There is both indoor and outdoor seating as well as a bar inside with WIFI service. Here’s a first look.
And that bar I mentioned:
We enjoyed an early lunch here, with a view of the nearby marina where fisherman take tourists out for a day on the Caribbean Sea. As for the meal, it was quite good. I started with the tomato soup and here’s a look at the presentation.
Then my wife enjoyed smoked salmon and herbed cream cheese wrap that she found delicious. See below.
I went with the CILO club, which contains parma ham, brie cheese, and the usual lettuce tomato and such. Check it out.
Fries were crispy, too.
You’ll find a crowd of local business people here and a few island visitors salted in. Prices are fair for the quality and good service. Guests of the nearby Renaissance Hotel and Timeshare may want to put this on their list for a convenient snack or meal.
Bon dia.
