The kid graduated from KPark and we decided to take our final family vacation to Aruba. The water color was beautiful, the sunsets over the Caribbean were spectacular. The shipwreck and undersea life, amazing. The kid loved the sailing, and it was fun to be caught up in World Cup fever there. We picked up some Papiamento and thought of @boobear when we got to the "used car dealership" airport.  No one really wanted to come back but we did, of course, and it's good to be back in Texas!

I loved all the divi divi trees and how the people would put the broken glass at the top of their fences. I don't know how much has changed since was there, I know the natural bridge had fallen. Is baby beach still there?
 
I do remember my cousin and me picking up young Dutch hitchhikers.. 4951

@BooBear:  It truly did look like a dealership... one jam packed with people though! The divi divi trees are fewer than they were, we were told by a crazy cab driver. Baby Beach is still there, and the Natural Pool. There are many high rise hotels and high-end malls on the one end, and abject poverty on the other end. We were told by one waiter that the minimum wage is $900/month for 48 hours a week, and the cheapest apartment is $700/month. The refinery is closed down, tourism is all they have. Didn't see any hitchhikers... probably a good thing!
