\"\"<\/p>\n

Charlie and Becky are down for two weeks and emJay and I for one. There are over 60+ beaches available and open to the public. So many beaches . . .so little time. Curacao is part of the Lesser Antilles, formerly part of the Netherlands, and one off three islands known as the A -B-C’s. Aruba, Bonair and Curacao. Only 12 degrees above the equator the temps barely vary year round, or daily. While we are here the daytime temps are predicted to be 80 degrees and the night time lows 78!!!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Just because one is on holiday doesn’t mean you can’t start the day with a hearty breakfast!!! My usual omelette, toast and fruit!!!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

emJay was the next one us this morning. The whole house can be basically wide open if you prefer. Very few windows have screens and the sliding doors can be open wide. Took us one day and emJay’s nose to find that out. This morning I had opened one of the sliding doors and she unfortunately walked into one that was not (see nose smudge marks circled in red). She had to sit down for a bit and rest her shnooz and forehead . . .<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

. . . but soon she rallied, opened up the entire set . . .<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

and she had a nice breakfast too!!!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Time for a little post breakfast birdwatching . . . she has started a bird list down here, and a fish list (not the kind we have eaten but the kind we have seen snorkeling).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Speaking of snorkeling soon we were off for a day of adventure to one of the most popular beaches on the\u00a0 island, Cas Aboa Beach, and it was only 5 minutes\u00a0 from from our house!!!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And it was quite a place. Most the the beaches with ‘amenities’ even have wifi!!!!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Our team preparing to meet the ‘deep’.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Becky, or ‘Bicky’ as she is know outside of Madison . . .<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Charlie . . .<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

. . . and emJay.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

. . . relaxing after a little lunch and trying to protect our winter ‘pasty white bodies’!!!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We snorkeled, sat in the shade, ate French Fries and grilled ham and cheese sandwiches and drank beer. And read or listened to ‘books on tape’ (mp3) a lot too. Too soon it was time to head home.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A nightly round of our signature drink, The Blue Lagoon, A great sunset (with a cloudless horizon and we were able to see the infamous green flash). Got to take a movie of the next sunset to share the flash with the non-believers.<\/p>\n

And soon it was onto dinner. Tonight the women cooked and we had a yummy chicken stir fry with a big salad.<\/p>\n

After all the drinking, eating and SUN . . . we were all turning in for the night by 9:30PM!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
