A funny thing happened .... in Aruba.


 And, those wild and crazy scampering lizards are about a foot and a half long.  They love to share your space at the outdoor restaurants, which are filled with people eating breakfast.



Walking the board walk, returning from purchasing the morning Double D coffee, you get to do your major reading of the day. This is about all your brain can handle; and, perhaps it's too much as we had to return each day only to read it yet again!
Sunset are beautiful, turning the sky into the most magnificent colors imaginable.  It looks surreal.


There is great beauty in the cactus plant but it's certainly not what  you want to wrap your arms around any time soon!

 One of my favorite afternoon activities was to visit the butterfly exhibit.  Here is the tidbit that makes it so interesting - if you go in the afternoon, the butterflies put on a special "show".  Apparently, they just love to drink the fermented juice of the oranges and by afternoon they are "drunk". They can barely fly and do some amazing acrobatics.  You have to be careful where you step in order to protect them from their demise.
 After visiting the butterflies, it's appropriate to head to the hut bar for an Arubian Balashi beer. Ahhhhh that Balashi beer is a wonderful treat! It becomes perfectly clear why those butterflies like the fermented fruit!

 Do you think that perhaps the problem with my husband's sneakers is due to the Balashi beer? I laughed hysterically when we noticed the problem ... at the beginning of our vacation!
