My Room

"Everyone carries a room about inside them. This fact can even be proved by means of the sense of hearing. If someone walks fast and one pricks up one's ears and listens, say at night, when everything round about is quiet, one hears, for instance, the rattling of a mirror not quite firmly fastened to the wall." -Franz Kafka

The weather is here, wish you were beautiful

Saturday we arrived in Aruba, where we will spend the next two weeks. I've spent the last three days eating, sitting by the pool, eating, swimming, eating, drinking pina coladas, eating, smoking Cuban cigars, and eating.

Last night we ate at a restaurant called The Buccaneer that's designed to look like a shipwreck. It has aquarium tanks all around to make it feel like you're underwater. I ate next to a shark, a sea turtle, and a kissing fish with a nasty, swollen eye. Christine's mom took a picture of us with her new camera, which has a wicked flash.


Today we're going shopping in town, and tonight a local market moves into our resort around the pool.

    i'm so jealous that you're in aruba! did you see that the natural land bridge fell? we ate at buccaneers on our honeymoon. that was after our busdriver told us the wrong stop to get off at and we had to walk for a half hour to reach it. i was hungry. the couple next to us heard our story and gave us 20 for a cab ride.
    have fun!!! are you going to eat at the french steakhouse?

    Andrew,

    We plan to watch Shark Week every night. There are no sharks in Aruba. Right?

    We'll be at the reception. We bought you a wedding gift from Aruba. You're so lucky.


    Krystal,

    We've eaten at the French Steakhouse twice. You'll be sad to know that Tinkletones is no more. What a hip, happenin' place that was.

    Mom,

    The weather here is great. It's sunny and windy. Very comfortable.
