I just have to ask!
Amy, were you and Mike walking th beach yesterday down by the Divi? From my palapa in front of Vista I noticed an ash blond girl with a black cover-up and a tall guy with red trunks walking down the beach toward ABC. I would've inquired but, with my gimpy leg, you would've been hakf way home by the time I reached the water/
Just curious??
Home tomorrow, and it is a nice photo! _________________ John...

Today was kind of a hazy/sun day. We had already decided though to go to the Bugaloe since they'll be closed for a week as of tomorrow to redo their floor behind the bar.
We drove to the Ritz and walked the beach in front of it. They are moving fast and have a lot of workers there.
Then to the Bugaloe for drinks and lunch. We met Explorer21 and his wife (so great running into them - love his daily posts!), and another couple from the Trip Advisor Forum and also ran into another couple from Canada that we met yesterday at the beach bar. It was a great afternoon!
Just enjoyed a cloudy pink sunset and now headed to Amadeus for dinner. _________________ ~Amy~®

Thanks for all of the kind words.
John - I wish that was us only because I would have loved to have met you but it wasn't. Wish we would have been able to share a cold one together before you leave. _________________ ~Amy~®

Hi Amy, nice picture! So you went to Bugaloo when we saw you walking towards your car. We went for coffee at our friends home, with lots of other friends coming along. Had a nice morning. After that we took some of the friends with us to the AMBR beach. It wa sooooo hot, we all wanted to cool down in the sea. They left at 7 and after a shower we went to Waka Waka. Not bad at all. See you tomorrow at the BB. We will be exploring the island tomorrow and maybe have lunch at the West Deck. |

Hi Ingrid - looking forward to seeing you again tomorrow (and everyone else, too) at the bb party and for dinner. Wait, I guess tomorrow is now today. I'm losing track of my days. LOL!!
I'm up early for some reason. Thinking of going for a morning beach walk. Mike has been a little sick since he got here. Thought it was just a dry cough from the plane rides but it seems like he picked up a cold somewhere. I did pack Sudafed which helps a little but I think he needs a good shot of Nyquil to help him sleep at night.
Going to throw on some shorts now and head to the beach for a little walk. _________________ ~Amy~®

Have a nice walk! Poor Mike, he did look a bit pale, but I thought he was just tired. I do hope he will be well enough to enjoy his time on Aruba. See you tonight (and all the other BB people as well). |

Mike and I just got back from a walk from Amsterdam Manor to the Bucuti and back. On the way back we saw a school of tiny little silver fish jumping in the air together as they swam. It was the weirdest and coolest thing to see with the morning sunlight on them.
No wind today but the sun is out. Going to be a HOT one. We worked up a good sweat on the walk.
Time for breakfast and then the beach today..... _________________ ~Amy~®

Had a few clouds today but cleared up nicely and it was bright and sunny again by 1pm.
Had a interesting encounter this morning as we were getting ready to go to the beach. Just had breakfast on the patio and our patio is very close to the walkway that goes to the beach. We had left the patio door open a bit when we took dishes in. I was in the bedroom putting on suntan lotion when I could hear Mike talking to some lady in the kitchen/living room area who was IN our room. She wanted to know where LaQuinta was because they had some friends staying there. She apparently came in from the walkway, saw our door open and just walked right in. I came out of the bedroom and she looked at me (after I gave her directions) and said "Am I in someone's apartment?" Uh, yeah....you are. LOL!!! _________________ ~Amy~®

You always take these things in stride. Go enjoy the beach! _________________ www.arubabound.com ~ www.hoosierkitties.com

Done with the beach for the day. Meeting someone at 4pm for a drink and then BB party at 5pm....and dinner at 2 Fools and a Bull at 7pm.
We are still laughing about that lady this morning. Can't believe she just wandered in. Wonder what she thought this place was? Although we do have a Welcome mat in front of our door. LOL!!!! _________________ ~Amy~®
