Our goal today was to work on our wedding ring tan line. We rolled out of bed around 10am, had oatmeal and got ready for Eagle Beach, one of the top ten beaches of the world.
The white Aruban sands and turquoise water was amazingly beautiful. It was quite hard to believe with all the people that travel to Aruba, the beach was untouched by garbage. You could not find a plastic bag or aluminum can floating by. Together, we walked to the ocean to soak in the cool, salty Caribbean water. I noted a couple in the water near us. The couple had shirts, sunglasses, hats and jewelry on. I laughed and told Hubby that I would have done the same thing if I didn't find a bathing suit to wear. Hubby told me he was glad I found a bathing suit. He knew that I would have worn a shirt, socks, shoes and jeans into the water. He later told me that he could picture me tanning with my light colored jeans on hoping my jeans would turn dark.
After tanning, we went back to our room and got ready for our night out. To our surprise the front desk sent us a complementary plate of chocolate covered strawberries.
We took a taxi to Oranjestad, downtown, for dinner. We ate at The Old Fisherman. Based on, on the line reviews, The Old Fisherman is a local favorite. Hubby and I understand why. Hubby ordered the 4 fish meal. He was served mahi mahi, salmon, snapper, and oahu. When he was finished, he slapped his napkin down and exclaimed the food was "BOMB"! I had the criollo plater. I was served shark, mahi mahi, and shrimp. We were also served Aruban cornbread with grated cheese with our meal. Wowzers, now that is yummy in my tummy cornbread! Aruban cornbread tastes like corndog breading.
After eating, we strolled down the boulevard looking for the salsa action - yes, I did say salsa. We didn't find any salseros, but we did find a bar with a live band. It was great fun! Hubby and I danced for one full set, about an hour and a half, before heading home.
Mr. and Mrs. Bahhrrrrrrges had a terrific day.
Over and out.
