Aruba 5, on tour, final post/thoughts

End of my Aruba visit pics:

Arikok National Park, Fontein Caves used by indigenous people centuries ago with ancient drawings. Lunch at Big Mama's Grill, local lizard, and yes those Black Pete characters on the streets and TV, supporting Sintaklass. Of all that I saw in Aruba, I will remember them most. 

My least favorite: nearly drowning in a 'natural pool',  seeing and the Black Pete characters (socially and culturally offensive to my sensibilities)

My greatest highlights - learning about the island's history, my daily scenic serene walks, excellent weather, nice apartment, vibrant pops of color everywhere, celebratory music and festive dances.
