Aruba

What’s wrong with a pleasant breezy day in the 80s? Nothing I can find! We took a “natural wonder” tour of Aruba. The main attraction was a butterfly farm. Caretakers put out slices of fruit for the butterflies to eat. The fruit ferments. The butterflies get drunk. If you look at the pictures, you will see lots of butterflies, including two that landed on Danita’s back. We saw an Owl Butterfly that disguises itself by looking like the face of an owl when it’s wings are stretched out. This was the only drunk butterfly we actually saw.

We also the ruins of the natural bridge. A smaller natural bridge is still standing, sometimes called “Son of a Bridge”. The entertainment on this trip has been excellent. We saw two performances by a dance troupe, a comedian, several talks by a naturalist, and concerts by a classical quintet.

Tomorrow is an at sea day. Sunday we will transit the canal. We aren’t stopping anywhere in Panama.

Well, it’s time to go sit on our lanai chairs. I hope this finds everybody doing well.
