A Well Deserved Vacation

OK,,, all vacations are well deserved,right? And this one is a trip down memory lane as this is a place we used to come somewhat often and then skipped for a few years. Some things have changed for the better. Some things have changed and we miss them. But... all in all, it is still great diving. We always stay at Captain Don's Habitat.

The accommodations are great. We are staying in the new section overlooking the water. As former owners of an iguana for many years (not something I would do again - for the iguana's sake), we are partial to these guys. Well, they are plentiful here. About 10 of them hang out on the low sea wall that borders the open are restaurant especially every morning.

So, other than our (my) lost luggage tragedy and PD's repiratory distress (a cold) he was recovering from at the beginning of the trip, things are going great. Here, on Bonaire, "Diving Freedom" is the motto, so taking a couple of tanks and driving up the road to a dive site on your own is popular. Here is your bellmaker coming out of the water, looking like Lloyd Bridges from an episode of Sea Hunt from dive site called Margates earlier this week.

Midland Art Show

Well, this show has come and gone. Sorry there are no pictures. I wasn't there and PD was too busy all alone to take any shots. All went well though. Business was good. This show is put on by the folks who support the local museum. I can't even remember how many years Windsongs has been a presence at this show.
I do remember that years ago when the whole family went to the show, Carla caught a horned toad that ambled into the booth. Little did we know that these little creatures were a protected species. But we found that out the following Monday when Carla took her little guy to school for show and tell! We did a quick release out into the wild soon thereafter!
