My trip to Aruba

chrisinhouston · 01-11-2009, 02:35 PM

We went in June and had a great time. My wife was there on business and Imostly went to the beach. Cool trip, but we didn't see any signs of Natalie Holloway. Here are a few of my favorites:

A few more...

Those are so nice. I love the colors of the tropics.

That last one's great, particularly!

TheMercenary · 01-11-2009, 03:13 PM

I could live down there in a heartbeat.

Thanks, that's the ruins of a gold smelter. The rocks that they used to build it with are don't really show how big they are, they are huge like 3 x 3 feet. I went out before sunrise and waited for the sun to hit it as it came up. The bird was a added bonus.

Just for us? Thank you! Or were you up early to avoid you wife's glare, because she had to work while you bummed?

How hot was it in June?

I like that, except for the two boats, there are no motorized vehicles in any of the shots. No jet skis, no cars, no planes. It makes it seem very peaceful.

Was that intentional?

To early in the morning. Motorboaters don't wake up that early.

Lovely place, lovely photos!

Glad that the Pink shoes & accessories shop is shut - otherwise I would be a jealous witch.
Speaking of witches - is that meant to be the Statue of Liberty on the painting of that boat? I assume not. I prefer to think of her as The Witch of the Sea.

I also like the kite that looks like an Islamic crescent moon in the third picture. Very multi-denominational of you.

Altogether, really beautiful pictures. Thank you.
