Aruba June 2nd

NIt is ground hog day in Aruba! Once again, it is another sunny beautiful day. 

Yesterday's adventure was that Kathy Mackenzie and I ventured over to the Donkey Sanctuary. The is run by an organization that rescues donkeys on the island. We were fortunate to really be the only ones there at the time and got to go in the corral with a mother and very young baby donkey. Of course I took tons of pics. However, on my other camera. They actually had a couple of other young that were already mixed in with everyone else. You could pick them out easily and they always followed their momma around. Kathy then bought a bag of grain to feed them....it was hysterical.  Here is their website; http://www.arubandonkey.org/

After that we stopped at the Ayo Rock Formations. Very strange place. Enormous boulders with all these smooth carve outs.  Area dates way back to the Indians and they would gather here to hear incoming thunderstorms and did some paintings on the rocks. Here is some more info;

After that.....yep you got it......sun, sand and drink in hand! 

Dinner last night was at Smokey Joes for ribs! Yummy! Oh....and we tried deep fried Oreo cookies....oh my!
