After a long nap for Caitlin and Nils, Max decided to do a little sightseeing on Bonaire. The group hopped in the rental truck and headed over to the east side of the island--referred to as the "wild side" because of all the wind--to check out Jibe City and Sorobon Beach. Jibe City is hotspot on Lac Bay for windsurfers. They have a small beach bar/restaurant where the group hung out, had a snack, and watched the windsurfers.
After that we traveled down the coast with a stop at one of the lighthouses on the island. Doesn't appear that this one is operational, but on the windy side of the island all sorts of stuff washes up on the beach and people will put up makeshift "sculptures" with found items from the beach. Max surveyed the rubbled landscape and Caitlin found some interesting stuff too.
There's also what appears to be what was once the lighthouse keepers residence. Nothing left but the walls. In one room there is what can only be describes as an offering to the flip-flop god. Based on the number of sandals and flip-flops that wash up on this coast it's hard to imagine anyone has a complete set in the world.
