Good evening one and all, we are officially tired! I left the house at 7:00 this morning and took the dogs for a two hour walk at Saint Joris. Since we were there I decided to go check out my new one mile of single track that I put in a few months ago and see if it was getting any use. We walked for about five minutes when all of a sudden we heard voices coming from behind and I looked over the tops of the brush and could see rider after rider heading our way. I can’t tell you what a great feeling it is to see bikers and hikers all using a trail I built, it’s very rewarding! I was holding a rake and broom when they passed and I said “how do you like the trail”?? They all stopped and asked if I built this which then turned into an even more rewarding morning filled with compliments and thanks, I was glowing with satisfaction when they left. Other bikers also found their way onto the trail and also a big group of hikers all loving this new found trail that takes you thru some really beautiful Curacao landscape.
I then spent a good part of the afternoon packing for my trip to the States even though I don’t leave for 8 more days. At 4:30 I took off on the bike for an hour ride and let me tell you it was HOT!! It’s amazing how fast one can drink 2 full water bottles when your out riding in the sun and the ice-cubes I put in before I left were gone in 5 minutes!
At 5:30 Aimee and I took the dogs over to our friends Rob and Michelle’s house who live on Spanish Water. Rob has a little boat and we loaded Indi and Inca and we took them to a deserted island in the middle of Spanish Water where we met other friends and more dogs for a super fun evening walk. The dogs ran and ran and did a little swimming, it was really great to see a new part of the island that I didn’t even know existed. We had to take the boat back and it was almost dark when we arrived back at the car, our dogs are now fast asleep!
Here’s another shot of the new frogfish at Vaersenbaai. Yesterday when we were there he was very hard to find and had moved a long ways away from where we had last spotted him a week ago. This time he was hiding underneath a big brown tube sponge which made it impossible to photograph, so good thing I got his picture the week before. I shot this with my 105 2.8 macro which if you do a lot of macro you would know what an accomplishment that is, shooting a large object with macro can be tough! This frogfish is just beautiful and obviously very easy to spot on the reef.
Game over, see you tomorrow, Barry
