It is always exciting for us to return to Bonaire. After a month away from the island everything seems new to us. We flew into Bonaire from Miami and our view of the island from the plane was spectacular.
After a month away we got reacquainted with our some of our friends at a wine tasting event. It featured a sunset.
A new store opened while we were gone. It's called Building Depot. They carry home goods and decorating items, painting supplies, tools, furniture, and hardware. Their competition, Kooyman, was there checking them out too!
Rainy Season started October 1. The island has no drainage and after a day's rain, the streets are flooded and some of the sidewalks are impassable. Someone placed a brink in the middle of a large puddle that enabled us to step off the sidewalk, onto the brick and then on to a dry spot. Very inventive move and we appreciate whomever did this easy fix to make the sidewalk useable.
Cruise ships have been absent due to hurricane season. They start coming again in November. In the mean time, we have had the Dutch Coast Guard patrolling the seas. They are very effective at catching drug shipments on fast boats from Venezuela heading to North America. They also intercept illegals coming to the island by boat.
It was so nice to get back to the beach, sunsets, snorkeling and warm weather. Happy in Paradise!
