Today was a wonderful day!!!! I left the ship bright and early and went for
a walk about before heading over to see my friends Aart & Ellen. It was a wonderful day for walking around,
taking photos and just enjoying the sights and sounds of Curacao… I arrived at their home around 9:30 in the
morning and it was a wonderful reunion.
It seemed like times earlier this year when the Zuiderdam would call
every 10/11 days in Curacao. After
visiting for a few hours, Ellen thought it would be nice to go and see an art
project, the Cathedral of Thorns, being developed by artist Herman van
Bergen. The structure is being created
by the thorns of the Acacia Tortuosa or Wabi.
It’s really quite amazing….
Herman took us around and described his work and how it will evolve
until its completion next year. There is
a nice description at http://curacao-art.com/events/cathedral-of-thorns/
It’s definitely worth a look and once completed, it will be amazing… I’m just happy I didn’t run into a wall and shred
my skin….. Afterwards, we went down by
the water for drinks and a bit to eat, wrapping up a very special day… Really love those two!!!!
