Aruba - Day 2

We've completed our second day in tropical paradise, enjoying every moment of our time here. A couple of thoughts so far:
  • We've enjoyed some great local food. The fresh fish is exceptional and various culinary influences from around the world make the food enjoyable and unique.
  • We spent the morning at the Renaissance private island. The sand is so fine you'd think you were walking on powder. There are flamingos and big old iguanas on the island (see pictures below).
  • We had a wonderful lunch at the outdoor grill, adjacent to the beach and lagoon.
  • The blackened red snapper sandwich was unbelievable. Kristi had a delicious wrap. The only thing that could have ruined the meal would have been a 60 year old lady sitting down within 20 feet of us for some topless sunbathing. There should be a local law against that type of behavior. Kind of like no smoking within 50 feet of a building entrance.
  • We love the hotel and need to bring our kids here one day.

This is either a large iguana or a small dragon. He took advantage of the flamingo's watering bowl for a little refreshment.
