We are having lots of fun on the island, getting used to how things work here. Laid back is definitely an attitude, as well as a way of life. Still, things can happen very quickly too. We bought an all-in-one washer/dryer, and they had it delivered in about two hours! Installation was complete the next day. Is that unusual? Well, the next day at our beach bar, someone came up to me and said, “I heard you got your washer/dryer installed already!” So there you go – not only was it exceptional, it was the talk of the island! haha

The snorkeling has been quite amazing. Some days the water is so glassy calm, it’s like laying on a bed. Yesterday, was a bit rougher, and visibility was a bit murky, but still quite clear. I’ve uploaded a movie about turtles at Playa Grandi to YouTube. It was compiled with a new app called ShotCut… it’s a Windows Movie Maker alternative, since Microsoft decided to drop Movie Maker from Windows 10. Not bad for a first stab I think – it’s four clips in the one movie.

The apartment building we are in is going to be having fibre optic cable installed for internet, but there is a slight delay because the conduit for the cabling is too small! They had hoped to have it ready for August, but it will be delayed a bit while new conduit is installed. it’s a big job, but they think it will be ready in just a couple months. So, we have to take our computers to the beach for wifi access. So, I’m not doing long blog posts, but short twitter updates. You can access my twitter feed at https://twitter.com/CuracaoCanuck
