Aruba

Finally some photos to update my Flickr page with. Over the thanksgiving holiday SY & I escaped the Chicago winter and spent 5 days in Aruba.

Until that vacation, the most I knew of Aruba was that it's one of the islands mentioned in the Beach boy's song Cocomo. What a classic song. Anyhow, Aruba's a small island in the caribbean. It only measures 19miles wide.

Our trip consisted of relaxing on the beach, snorkelling, gambling and eating. Very stress free. Everything seemed to run on island time - no hurry, no rushing .. it was a pleasant change from the hustle and bustle of Chicago life.

Unfortnately we're back now and we just had a 1ft dump of snow. The highs of the day are 0degC.
