Bonaire frogfish

Hi friends, being that we have no gas in the car we are having to stick very close to home today.  I did take off on a brief sight seeing tour to see if the gas stations were in fact really OUT of gas and sure enough it’s really gone!!  It was easy to see while out that the streets were very empty for a Thursday afternoon, I guess I was not the only one low on fuel.  I did manage to pick up some more food but then went directly home to save what little gas we have left.  Good times!!
 
Aimee and I took the dogs over to the trails behind the aquarium this morning, she ran and I rode the bike.  This was the first time since we have been here that I have ever seen my woman run and I must say she’s pretty fast and in great shape.  We did a three and a half mile loop and some parts of the trail it was difficult to keep up to my bionic woman, she keeps a fast pace up the hills while I slow down quite a bit.  I really wish it would rain, it sometimes looks like it going to but time after time we get nothing!
 
Here’s a beautiful Longlure Frogfish that my buddy Sal took me to see on the last dive I did Tuesday morning.  This incredible creature was just sitting there on top of those sponges with his little fishing lure out trying to catch his morning breakfast.  We found this beauty at my favorite dive site in Bonaire in front of Wannadive at Eden Beach, it’s one of the best places I found for so many cool creatures.  My friend Sal has the eyes of a hawk underwater and proved over and over that he was the hands down fish finding master of the Caribbean, need to get him to come here to help me find stuff!  I laid on the sand watching this guy for quite awhile by myself, he’s so fascinating especially when he wiggles his little white fishing lure trying to attract some poor unsuspecting fish which he’s very, very good at!!!
 
Aimee has been watching a series my mom sent to us called “Life on Mars” all day and I am going to take off on a bike ride in an hour.  Talk to you all tomorrow, Barry
