Aruba June 3,4,5

So....I missed a few days worth of activity.....
Tuesday - highlight of this day was the early morning trek to the Alta Vista Chapel. A group of us left the resort at 4:45am to go there. About 15mins to get there. Pitch black when we arrived. Set up camera gear in dark using iPhone flashlight. Got some awesome twighlight pictures using 30 sec exposure. Then when the sun came up it was unbelievable. There were some clouds but this made it even more dramatic.  The were a couple of cute stray dogs that live up at the chapel. Locals take care of them and feed and give them water. I went back to the chapel today 6-6-13 for a later sunrise and of course I brought treats for the pups! Needless to say, the Tues sunrise was the best.

Beach was really windy and the sand was kicking up...oh poor us!

Dinner was at Amore Mio for pizza. Think we finally found good pizza in Aruba. Thin crust, wood fired, 10 inch pizza. Very good.

Wednesday - today Kathy and I went to the Ostrich Farm. Was pretty cool. Saw 3 wk old babies.
The ostriches are funny and pretty dumb birds. Got our pictures taken with the birds. Good place to go at least once. From here we took a drive down the road to the gold ruins on the rough side of the island. Snapped some cool pics.

Today we also went for a snorkel / sail on the Black Pearl. We were a group of about 15. Had a good time as always. No unusual sightings in the water other than the normal fish. This is always a great take.

Dinner tonite was hot dogs and other left overs on the grill....nite-nite.....

I can't believe we only have 2 more days....where has the time gone!

A few pics I have on the iPad.........
