Good evening one and all, I am beat!  I spent the morning working on the computer and the afternoon and evening with my new friend Hans.  My day started out with being picked up in a fully restored flaming hot orange 70′s El-Camino!  This car was on fire!  The whole thing including the motor has been re-done, just to hear this thing rev it’s 350hp motor sends chills down ones spine!  We drove to Punda, turning every head we passed and met with a group of eutopenoures at the Curacao Chamber of Commerce where Hans listened and did a bit a speaking of his own.  Yes it was all in Dutch of course but surprisingly I understood some of it.  It seemed to be a wonderful group of people each telling about their own business’s and concerned about the very important up-coming Yes or No election.  I pretty much just stood the whole time walking around the big conference table taking pictures until I finally said to myself “I think you have it well covered”  there are only so many angles one can shoot such an event.  We then drove around Punda a bit giving Hans the grand tour and finding him a place to buy a postcard to send to his family.  The rest of the afternoon we were chauffeured around by two very lovely ladies who gave Hans and I a very close look at Curacao taking us to places I didn’t even know existed?  On this “back streets” tour I found so many pictures that I want to go back and take, it was a real eye opener!  Our final destination today was going to Coral Estates and driving down to the big Hotel Habitat.  Many of you reading this have stayed here on your visit to Curacao so this dive boats for you!  It was late in the evening and they were tying the boat up for the night to a floating anchor.  Once the boat was secured the guys you see dove into the water and swam back to shore leaving the boat there for the night. 
 
It’s 8:30 Aimee and I are going to meet Hans van Baalen to give him all the photos I just took as he leaves early in the morning.  So my friends, I will see you tomorrow, Barry
