Feeding the Pilot Whale

Feeding the Pilot Whale

Good evening from Curacao!  I just rolled in from a fast one hour bike ride to find our friend Michelle involved in a car accident very close to our house!  Michelle is fine, she was a bit shaken up but nothing serious!  She was driving home and a little white car pulled out in front of her and she plowed into it smashing the white car up pretty good and spinning it in a complete circle.  I arrived on the scene moments after and called Aimee and she rushed down immediately.  One of our co-workers Inez directed traffic while we all waited and waited and waited for help to arrive, it took forever.  Aimee eventually took over directing traffic, I will get a photo from Rob or Michelle and send it to you it was pretty funny but very necessary. 
 
I worked all day while Aimee and Emily had the day off.  Emily’s parents left today, it was great getting to meet them and Emily is still staying for two more weeks, she’s great!! 
 
This is George, he held a fish underwater as the whale swam over to him.  The whale then took the fish in it’s mouth and in passing George reached out and gave him a nice relaxing rub.  This was repeated over and over until all the fish were gone!  So far things are going great, he’s getting bigger and healthier by the day.
 
I have to run, food is cooking on the BBQ.  Bye now, Barry
