Well our vacation has come to a close...tomorrow we will be saying goodbye to Aruba. We are sad to see it end and will miss it here. Our flight leaves at 3 tomorrow afternoon.
Yesterday we went on the Island Safari. Absolutely worth the money. The tour guides were awesome, telling us about each stop and making jokes. The scenery was beautiful and untamed. I took lots of pictures and even got to feed some ostriches! =o) Today, we just hung out and enjoyed ourselves snorkeling (I actually got up close and personal with a pelican who was following me), playing on the beach (we built a sand castle) and eating a good meal (at an Argentenian Grill/Steakhouse - we were going to try an Aruban restaurant but couldn't recognize ANYTHING on the menu). Can't complain at all.
Here are the last things I have learned about Aruba since my last post:
1- the country motto is "One Happy Island." This could explain why there are beer bottle caps everywhere.
2- some of the cars have the driver's side on the right side of the car instead of the left. *weird*
3- the only place here that seems to offer free refills is McDonald's, which sucks because it is H-O-T here!
4- there are no 5 dollar footlongs at the Subway here.
5- the ice cream tastes like it was made with coconut milk.
6- there are lizards and iguanas literally everywhere; some are cute and tiny and some are the size of small dogs.
7- the road workers at home look like work-a-holics compared to the guys down here; it's like they're having a perpetual lunch break.
