Aruba Trip - June 4th

Today's adventure was a snorkel and sunset sail on the Black Pearl. Another year...another fun trip with friends.  My highlight was seeing a sea turtle! Lots of pretty fish, giant starfish, and other sea creatures! Pictures below;

Aruba Trip - June 3rd

Yesterday was a nice weather day. Headed down towards baby beach yesterday and made some stops along the way. Had not been to baby beach in a few years. Has changed quite a bit. There is a restaurant now where you can have lunch. It is called "Big Mama's Grill". The theme of the place is based on the Flintstones. Pretty cool. They appear to be making the area into a park. Part of me liked the old baby beach, but then again, the amenities are nice too.

Also stopped at Spanish Lagoon area and saw military running exercise drills. They were jumping off a bridge fully clothed and then had to go through a series of obstacles that were hanging under the bridge.

Next went to Mangel Halto. This area has been cleaned up beautifully. There are mangroves here.

As we got over towards baby beach towards the prison area, we saw lots of goats...so cute. Then we saw a procession of donkeys coming down the side of the road. They were funny. Stopped by our car to see if we had any food offerings. They then stopped at the next car...I think they got a treat.

Back to the beach at resort....more beach...ocean and beer and laughs with friends!

Dinner last night was at Amadeus.  Not really sure the meal was the "wow" factor that I remembered in the past years. 

Here are a few pictures I snapped on my iPad yesterday;

Aruba Trip - June 2nd

Days have started out cloudy and mid afternoon they clear out and we get sun. Today is starting out nice...so...we will see where that goes.

Yesterday did not start out good! Apparently I lost the car keys during the room move! What a dope. Only thing I can think of is that I threw the keys in a box that had food and when I unloaded the box I never saw the keys. Ugh....car rental place was nice about it but it will cost me $100 for the remote and keys.

After all that fiasco and a supermarket trip basically hung on the beach with the gang and had some great laughs!

Sunset was nice....although Tom will say it was not!

Went to Sole Mare for a great dinner. Food is consistently good here....although a bit on the pricey side.

All my pics are on my camera so I don't have any to post from my iPad. Oh well....you will all see those when I get home.
