Good evening readers, here is a fun photo of our friends Karine and Brianna today in the new state of the art mini-sub.  For those of you who I have been trying to get down here for years I am not kidding when I say there is lots of cool stuff to do here, just ask these two smiling ladies.  A big thanks to the man himself, Dutch for making this trip possible today and although you can’t see her Aimee is in the back seat as well behind our pilot Michiel.  The girls went on an exciting one hour trip called “the Beauty Run” named after all the spectacular things you are guaranteed to see!  I think they went down close to 400 feet today and upon their return they said they say lots of big fish and even a Lionfish at 180 feet!  Karine belongs to a wonderful family in Wyoming where Aimee and I get to go fossil collecting when we are in the States, so finally I am able to start paying them back a little on my own turf.  I picked these ladies up from the airport last night and directly delivered them to the Avila Hotel, the hands down best place to stay on the island!  This morning Aimee picked them up at 10:30 and they all went for an afternoon walk around Punda and had lunch in Outrabanda.  Then at 1:30 they showed up at the new Curacao Substation and at 2:30 they were off on a once in a life time incredible adventure.  We just finished having dinner on the BBQ at home and soon I will deliver them back to the Avila.  Tomorrow they are on their own, Saturday we play and Sunday they get to swim with the dolphins and Monday they head out on an island adventure on quads, so lots to do still!  Most who have visited know that I always post your face on the web for all to see so remember to smile real pretty! 
 
Time to get moving, more tomorrow, Barry
