We saw so many beautiful sunsets on Bonaire. I figured another sunset picture would be the most appropriate for wrapping up our "Bonaire Adventure, starring Max the Wonder Dog". The wide shot was taken at the "Alice in Wonderland" dive site on Feb 19. Carolyn and I had stared the day there snorkeling and ended up back there that evening to watch the sunset. Seemed fitting. The shot of Max is at Bachelor Beach, which was the nearest access to the water from our apartment, and a place from where we watched many sunsets. That particular night the dusk sky made spectacular angular rays fanning out from the horizon. It's interesting how sometimes watching the sun set is more beautiful after the sun sets.
When I started this blog I didn't think about it having an end. Postcards sent to friends and family get hung on the fridge for a while and then tossed aside or put in a box you find years later and have a laugh about the silly things written on the back. What happens when you "blog" a vacation instead of sending postcards? I guess it just continues to occupy space on a computer forever, maybe waiting for someone cleaning up their web bookmarks to go back and reread a couple posts before deleting the link.
Carolyn and I really enjoyed our time in Bonaire. We met so many great people while there and want to thank all of them for sharing their lives and stories with us. First of all we'd like to thank the Klug family--Julia, Ralf, Jasmine, Julianna, and baby Tristan. They are a lovely family and most gracious hosts. Their home/apartment arrangement allowed us to enjoy freinds and family who came to visit during our stay and meet new friends -----Dennis and Constance from Oregon, Ralf's mother Barbara, our freinds Rob and Naomi from Quincy, Jolanda and Thom from the Netherlands, Bonaire residents Jan-Kees and Petra, Julia's mother Bettina (Oma Nina), Bill and Carol Collins from Connecticut, and countless folks we met on the island who allowed us to create pictures of and with Max for the DoggieLogue.
As son Jake would say...."Peace"......Dan and Carolyn
