Sunset/Moonrise

Sunset /Moonrise happens about once a month.  Since Bonaire is so flat and small it is easy to catch both events.  These particular events happened at 6:07 pm and 6:08 pm this week. Several of us gathered on the beach. It was the usual party...everyone brought their own chairs, drinks and a snack to share.   

We certainly pay more attention to the weather and the celestial skies than we did in the US. Don't know if that is because we have more time or because of the geography.  Either way we are constantly reminded of how lucky we are to live on this island.

It took a while for the moon to pop out from the clouds. When it did, it lit up the whole beach.
