Trainer with a Baby Dolphin

Trainer with a Baby Dolphin

Good evening folks, Aimee and I woke to “Christmas in Curacao”!!!  Apparently while I slept last night Emily’s luggage was delivered to the house at around 12:30!!  Who delivers luggage at 12:30??  We are all super grateful it arrived safe and sound!  Santa Emily brought us so much cool stuff that it would be impossible to list it all, stuff like shirts, coffee, presents from family members, some cool native copper specimens from Michigan where she is from, framed pictures, dog toys, and on and on!!  Boy do we ever love having guests!! 
 
My day went pretty fast starting with a very windy walk along the coast with the dogs.  I then did the laundry, went shopping, got my dive light fixed, washed the car, fixed Aimee’s bike, and went for a fast one hour bike ride.  I took Aimee and Emily some lunch from KFC and when I got there I walked by a little boy screaming and holding his ear.  Turns out he got stung by a Portuguese Man-O-War and was on the way to the hospital.  They then started pulling everyone out of the water and I rushed over to Dolphin Academy to tell them as well.  It was so bad they cancelled the swims for the rest of the day because with a quick look they found 14 others floating in the main pool, those things are bad news!!
 
As for Sully the Whale, I heard he arrived at Sea World in good shape and was in his new temporary pool relaxed and eating.  So to all that helped you can now relax and pat yourselves on the back for a job well done.
 
This is our trainer Zenzi with baby Pasku.  Pasku had just done a sequence of jumps and came back to Zenzi for his reward, is he cute or what??
 
I have to go, dinner is ready, Barry
