What I am Thankful for this Thanksgiving !
I have a very blessed life, and I thank God every day for the treasured gifts of a great family, wonderful friends and this year the blessing of the Odyssey in my life. Below is a great group that adopted me and have also been so generous and inviting to Cathy & Rod while visiting. On Thanksgiving morning, we woke to these great rainbow shots of our Ship coming into the port of St Maartin's! Don't need a sign better than that to say I am in the right place for me, right now! Hope you are all able to count your blessings today!
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.
