August 24, 2008. The last full day in Aruba was a bit of a let-down for us. Perhaps we built it up in our mind too much. We might have been expecting some sort of cap stone experience, but what we had instead was a decent work day and a dissapointing dinner.

There were a few highlights, however. For one, we were treated really nicely by an Aruban. She worked at Dunkin’ Donuts and she let us plug our laptops in behind the counter. It was a small thing, but we were genuinely greatful. Arubans aren’t as friendly as they’re made out to be, so finding someone truly nice and helpful was exciting.

Secondly, we were witness to an AWFUL live “band.” A dutch couple played covers of American rock classics – they even had a Kazoo!! It reminded me an awful lot of that Will Farrell sketch where he plays the goofy music teacher:

Will Farrel is a goofy music teacher, very similar to the Dutch couple covering American rock classics we were unlucky enough to hear.

They were bad. Really bad. So bad they were good.

Anyways, tomorrow it’s back to the US. We’re really excited about going back home, if even for a short time.
