Jan 15

Yesterday was Curacao.  When we were coming into port we were up on the bow watching.  We stopped short of the channel into the port and the tugs and pilot boats seemed to be pushing and pulling.  We thought that the captain had run us aground.  However, when we went to the shore side of the ship, we realized we were docked!  Our story was much better.  Then in town we took a trolley train around to see the sights.  The buildings are all painted different colors.  The story goes that they were all white but the governor said that all of the sunshine reflecting off the white buildings was giving him headaches so he ordered them painted different colors.  Seems he owned the paint factory!  But they are pretty.  We are playing bridge this afternoon as we are both still a little crisp from our sunbathing day before yesterday.  I'm having trouble getting the pictures on but will try to include one from Curacao.  Too slow - I'll try again next time.
