Halloween FUN!!
The Residents and Crew went all out for our first Holiday celebration together. The ship was decorated and added festive lighting. The kitchen crew did a bunch of creative jack-o-lanterns throughout the dining room. Residents scavenged items from around the ship and their unique packings, others scouted out items at the last few port shops and lots of imagination, along with some inside humor, all columnated in some very creative customs. Below are some of my favorites!
View from one of high spot in the center of island looking out toward port. Island very dry and arid with lots of divi trees bent over in the winds and two types of cactus - one edible and the other poisonous ( used to build fencing). The Miller's and I did a private van tour around the island and then we ended tour at a beach for a couple hours R&R. Our fabulous driver/ guide came back and picked us up and concluded tour back to port and gave us each a gift ( Bonaire magnet). She was super! Below are slat fields - a big industry for Bonaire - harvested every March. Salt shimmers in sun as the water evaporates in the pools.
