Sightseeing

We went sightseeing and look what we found.  This is the closest I have been to flamingos in the wild.  I walked into an inlet from the sea and found these two beauties hanging out.  It was an unprotected area so I could walk very close to them.

At Lac Bay there is a bench overlooking the bay and across from the Antilleans park and harbor.  The local fisherman keep their boats here.  Beautiful spot. We stopped to have a cocktail at a local place and they gave us a a plastic flamingo with our drink...which was appropriate.

One of the five wind turbines on the island sits on the bay facing the east and the on coming direction of the wind. Since the wind blows non stop on Bonaire, there should  be turbines everywhere. The government is financing a study of installation of wind and solar energy since the oil prices have spiked.  The local utility is not keen on the idea of renewable energy.

Our electrician has solar and runs his entire house with air conditioning and does not pay utilities.  He ordered his batteries and panels from China.  He installs them all over the island.  If utility costs keep going up as they have, we may have to check into this system.

Another selfie that looks like all the rest of our selfies. We have a million of these standing by oceans and beaches all over the Caribbean and North America.  Nothing changes except we look older but still happy to be living on an island.
