A Drive on the East Side

We had a break in the rain action so we decided to take a drive to the east side of the island.  Usually, the east side has characteristically strong winds with waves crashing into the coral rocks at the shore.  This day it was calm and beautiful.  We still had lots of clouds lurking around and ready to rain on us at any moment.

There is always cool art on the east side. This fish was made of drift wood and sloppy painting.

There are these cool windmills that are placed on the side of the salt pans.  I suppose they produce power to pump water from the sea inlet to the salt pans.  They look very Dutch since they are surrounded by water.

No crashing waves as the trade winds have been absent for about two weeks.  It has been really hot without the wind.  This was one of the few times we left the airco to enjoy the island. 

We haven't taken a selfie since Europe...so here you go.  Rick and Sally on Atlantis beach on the western part of Bonaire.  It's still paradise to us.
