We Have Arrived
August 5th, 2008. Despite an allergic reaction, an infestation of roaches, and what seems like an endless search for a WiFi connection, we are having a great time in Aruba. We arrived on Monday and are already feeling like locals having mastered the local grocery store and even seeing someone we know randomly.
It’s hot. It’s real hot. We have found refuge at the beach, which is amazing. The water is the warmest I’ve ever felt and it is perfect for snorkeling. On day two we got us some snorkeling gear and headed to the Northern end of the island. Despite being freaked out by an eel, there were a lot of pretty critters to inspect including a starfish and rock fish to name just a couple. Aruba is known for its abundance of coral and the dozen or so wrecked ships and planes that make for good scuba and snorkeling.
