Nov 6th Arrives in Aruba and walked through the colorfully painted dutch town of Orangestad where we viewed statue of Queen Wilhelmina, the old prison, a wedding and older structures. A large new shopping mall is near the waterfront along with a street long array of souvenir shops. The island is greatly built up with homes, condos and hotel in contrast to the way it was 20 years ago when I came here for windsurfing. After lunch back on the ship Miriam and I took a cab to snorkel at Arache Beach, lots of tropical fish among coastal rocks, especially large schools within a coral reef. Then took the bus back to the ship for 75 cent.
