I think of that murder every time I contemplate a cruise that includes Aruba.

We arrived in Aruba for a land vacation the day after the young lady disappeared. Every store and restaurant had flyers with her picture on it displayed in their window. Very sad.

I like those stalagmites up top. They change color and shimmer. Some stay dark, they should fix those. 
 

 

Stalactites* 

 

Stalagmites grow up from the floor, stalactites grow down from the top and have to hold on "tite" 😉

 

Can we tell whose parents really liked taking them on tours of caverns as a child?

The way we learned it in 6th grade -

 

• stalactites grow from the ceiling
• stalagmites grow from the ground.

Side note: there’s no debarkation talk or anything like that scheduled. May be a first

Elevator clocks are still an hour fast

It’s a fifteen minute walk into the Old Town. It’s already hot, but we figured we’d do this now while it’s as cool as it’s gonna be

Into the old town we go

Found the cafe that was our reference point and into this little travel agency for our wristbands. Now back to the main square to wait for our guide

This place is so cool. I could stay here all day.

You could easily convince me I was in the Caribbean right now minus the rocks, some of the trees, and the language being spoken around us

For instance, pine cones on the beach is a new one
