Hello readers, how was your weekend??  I had a pretty fun day as usual starting out with photographing my two visitors during a dolphin swim.  And to make the whole dolphin swim even better, besides the sun and the crystal clear water, Aimee was their trainer!  I am going to just guess and go out on a limb and say they had a wonderful time, at least from where I was standing that’s what it looked like!  After the swim they did a little shopping then went over and got kissed by a sea lion and then back to watch the 10:30 dolphin show, it was a full morning.  The next stop was the sea glass beach.  It was raining when we got there but quit almost immediately and then with a short walk we found the sea of sea glass!  This is a place I found years ago and it is one of the best spots in Curacao for sea glass.  The glass here is very old, and has beautiful natural rounded edges and can be found in every shape, size and color under the sun!  We stayed there for about an hour and a half, my how time flies when your having fun!  Our next stop or their next stop was me dropping them off at Mambo beach for two hours to eat and do some more shopping and at 3:30 I picked them back up and took them back to the Avila Hotel.  We have a little problem in Curacao at the moment, there looks to be a gas shortage or gas strike ahead!  Yesterday and today cars have been lined up for blocks trying to fill up, we have no idea at this point what is going on or how long it will last so we will keep the driving to a minimum.  Because of this gas traffic jam I had a hard time getting the girls home, I had to take a long out of the way loop instead.  So we decided to just call it a day, the ladies have a spectacular hotel to relax in and we had some stuff to do at home.
 
I am still getting lots of requests for more sub photos so here is a new one from my fun photo shoot on Friday!  This is pretty much “picture perfect”, even I like this one and I am really picky!  The two smiling face are friends I work with at work, there is never a shortage of models or volunteers at the Sea Aquarium!  Our two sub pilots have been now practicing for two weeks and are becoming masters at driving these things! 
 
That’s it. more tomorrow, thanks for all the kind comments!  Barry
