CHRISTMAS MORNING 2024, on the Ship, GUAYAQUIL, ECUADOR
I was the photographer for all the Residents participating in REINDEER GAMES on Christmas Morning. I couldn't participate because we were leaving to go on our excursion. The games was the brain child of Eddie, arms spread wide here - one of my favorite neighbors! The rules required you to show up to breakfast in your Christmas PJ's and have your toes painted red and green! Below, I got to say a quick Merry Christmas & farewell (for 3 days) to my favorite Family the Little -Olson's - Doug, Lucia, Alionia & Whitney!
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.
