Happy Bonaire Day!


A cross on a viewpoint overlooking the island. The writing on it is in Papiamentu, the local language spoken only in the islands of the Netherlands Antilles, and it states "Yesterday, Today, and Forever". 



An outlook on the Northern side of the island overlooking the city. 



Today is Dia di Boneiru, or Bonaire Day and it similar in celebration to Flag Day or Independence in the US, just on a smaller scale. The celebration was an organized even with food, music, and stands with local crafts, including these colorful dream catchers. 




A local house catching the rays of the sunset.



Taken on the way to the Bonaire Day festival, sitting in the back of our open-backed dive truck. 




Tried many new things this past week, including a local delecacy of Goat's Blood, went windsurfing on the east side of the island, and night snorkeling. Can't wait for all of the adventures still yet to come!
