Aruba is a favorite destination for tourists - from both northern Europe and
North America. And you can see why, it is very warm, even hot, but you'll not
feel it because of the relentless trade winds. And very rarely does it rain
this time of year. The streets and beaches are immaculate, taxi drivers polite
and fair, and shop owners are welcoming. The ocean is a vivid aqua blue - the
term Aruba blue has been heard by me for years - distinctive and inviting.
About 70 cadets took an great trip yesterday (and today) when they went out on
an excursion boat for four-hours of snorkeling on the reefs on the west side of
the island. Other cadets have taken four-wheeler tours to the east side of the
island, highlighted by the natural pools, where the ocean's swell drives into
tiny bays within the rocky shore and gives the swimmers an exciting ride. But
the beaches are most popular, the cadets getting that last taste of warm
weather, getting impressive tans along the way. Too bad they'll have a week at
sea to see it wane.
