| Well, we're finally almost
here. We had to get up at o:dark hundred to get to the airport, and all
those lines. But I got to flirt with all the ladies. Wow! It's an
ISLAND. I can't wait to taste the sand. |
We found "Uncle" Bill &
"Aunt" Debbi already in line, so we joined them. We were supposed to get
here first, but that didn't happen. First this line, then another line,
are we ever going to be done. At least it's air conditioned in here now.
|
Now we are standing
OUTSIDE while Daddy arranges for a car. After 1/2 hour standing around
in the HOT sun, they finally found a car... now where is the baby seat
we reserved. I think they had to steal it from another family, but now
at least I have something to complain about. I HATE car seats, just ask
me. |

It was really late by the
time we bought groceries and then got some dinner on Saturday, so on
Sunday I made them take me to a really nice place for brunch. But, guys,
3 HOURS for one meal?
I hope this isn't a trend. |
Hey, why isn't MINE
champagne? |
As long as I have some
"O's" I'm happy. And there are some nice ladies to flirt with. |
 |
 |
 |
| We went to see this
Natural Bridge that Mommy & Daddy visited last time they were here, but
it's gone now. |
Now, they just have this
mini version left. |
But, the waves are cool |
 |
 |
 |
| Just a few miles away (as
the crow flies-and that would probably be easier than figuring out some
of these roads) we found some ancient pictographs. Haven't these guys
every heard of road signs? |
And cactus! Aren't we near
the ocean? How can there be cactus here? Did I mention that it's
HOT? That's an owl across the way. |
It's all too much for me,
I think I'll have a nap |
 |
 |
 |
| The beach is so much fun,
as long as no one makes me go in the ocean. Wanna hear how much noise
one little baby can make? Just try me. |
Something over there looks
interesting, I'm off to check it out if no one catches me first. Just
you wait until I can walk! |
I found a friend - wanna
play? |
 |
 |
 |
| The big folks got to eat
cheese fondue and meat fondue, and then CHOCOLATE fondue. |
Me, I just got more O's,
and.. I flirted with the ladies. |
Mommy & Daddy are still
smiling, I must be doing something right. |
 |
 |
 |
| We went to see some people
doing all kinds of native dances and playing strange instruments. I
mean, who every heard of a Tingy-Lingy box? |
I wanted to go on stage
and flirt with the ladies, but by this time I was too tired and had a
little nap. |
Downtown Oranjestad, the
capital city, is pretty at night. Lots of neat lights. |
 |
 |
 |
| We went to this really
nice place with a cool car. I like to look at cars. Oh, they're going to
eat again. |
We got to watch the sunset
while the eating was going on. It was pretty spectacular. |
But, I can only supervise
all this eating for so long, then I need a NAP! |
 |
 |
 |
| Sometimes it rains here in
the desert by the ocean. |
The view from the balcony
is great, and I can crawl around because I can't squeeze through the
bars to get off. |
After the big rain storm
there was a really neat rainbow. |
 |
 |
 |
| Way down at the end of the
beach, there is this rowboat that I thought we should take out for a
ride, but no one agreed with me. So, we just took it's picture. |
Another beautiful Aruba
sunset (this was really on the first night, but it seemed like a good
way to end) |
I had fun in Aruba, and
you can too. Hope to see you again soon.
Love, Andy |
