One Year

We arrived on Bonaire February 14, 2021. Oh what a year it has been! 

We have successfully navigated the Bonaire government bureaucracy to obtain residency, drivers licenses, car license, and health care. We know where every government office is located (and there are a lot of them).

We bought a house, a car, insurance, furniture, appliances and wine...lots of wine. We really love our new home in Bonaire....maybe it's all the wine.

We love, love, love the weather.  It is perfectly warm and breezy...except for September and October when it is crazy hot, dry and miserable.

We know that Fall is the time to travel to escape the heat.

We have experienced Bonaire, Dutch and American holidays. We have celebrated birthdays and our wedding anniversary on the island. We have missed Carnival due to cancellation because of Covid. 

We are still trying to get to all the restaurants. We have our favorites and some places even know us by name.

We have explored the island, seen the sights and experienced the adventure. Sailing, snorkeling, touring the parks, walks in the Mundi and meeting the locals and other expats. We have seen ONE sunrise and a bunch of sunsets. 

Oh what fun it has been!
