Valentines Day

Valentines Day has special meaning to us.  It's the day we arrived on the island 2021 to start our new life in Bonaire.

This is a professional photo of love birds (Loras) published for Valentines Day on the island. The right is a picture I took of two Loras in our back yard. Notice that I am a terrible wildlife photographer.

We celebrated our milestone at our favorite place "Grandi" on Grandi Avenue in downtown Kralendijk. They serve small plates of interesting food...seafood, veal, chicken, beef, vegetables, pasta and desserts.

We love to linger in this restaurant.  We watch the people, drink wine, and have a cappuccino. The owner is Italian and Dutch.  She is a fabulous sommelier. The chef always has something new and interesting to offer.

We toured the wine room.  The wines are from Italy that the owner imports specifically for the restaurant. She always has the best suggestions for wine pairings with food.

She also gave us the name of the guy that provides knife sharpening to the island chefs.  We have been here a year and its time to get our chef knife sharpened.

The bill comes in a love book.  This was so appropriate for Valentines Day and our one year "on the island" celebration. (Rick is not pointing, just holding the pages for the picture).

Happy Valentines Day.  Happy one year anniversary of living on Bonaire.
