Aruba – One Happy Island

It says it all, right?

Aruba Beach

Arub a also had some really nice beaches. However, many of them were private. Most islands we visited decreed all beaches public. Most islands we visited were also poor.

Aruba Hotel

Aruba did have a plethora of swank hotels that were obviously somewhat pricey. The Aruban economy seemed to be booming.

Aruba Lighthouse

Another Aruba landmark was the lighthouse. Aruba tours are a little short on excitement.

Aruba – Natural Bridge

The tour guide brought us to see one of Aruba’s natural wonders – the Natural Bridge. Only problem was that it collapsed several years ago. No problem, man. Just keep it on the tour.

Aruba Beers

Each island seemed to have their own brand of beer, almost all of them pilsners.

Aruba – Oldest Cactus

The oldest cactus in Aruba. It is said to be 140 years old. Which would you believe first, a catholic priest or a tour guide?

Aruba Beach Rocks

On Aruba there seems to be a custom of piling up roks on a beach into little pyramid shapes. It has something to do with good luck and wishes coming true.

Aruba Tourist

This is an old gold mining / processing facility.
