Day 1- Jan Thiel Beach

Just a reminder! This trip was in January  2020, pre-corona, so no one is wearing masks!

Since our house was kinda miserable to be in,( I'm looking at you, mosquitos) we were up bright and early every day.  We went to so many good beaches!  First up, Jan Thiel Beach.  Of the 4 beaches we visited, this was our least favorite. It is very close to a lot of condos, so it was incredibly busy.  And the food wasn't that good.  But the sand, the sea, and the sky were amazing!

What can I say, I like a side pony when I'm in Curacao.

Beach Besties.

When we had our fill of sea, sand, and sun (mostly sun, I tend to wilt) we headed back to the house and we ladies went out to the grocery store for supplies.  Not because we are women, mind you.  Whoever didn't go to the store was keeping the kids and we wanted a bit of an escape!  Grocery shopping in a foreign country is always fun.  Especially when it is a mix of Caribbean, South American, and Dutch food!

Provisions acquired, we had a bit of a cook out for dinner and then attempted night swimming.  The mosquitos were so happy I brought them a buffet.  Ugh!

Another vacation ritual, an afternoon decaf.

Blurry picture of night swimming. I was probably swatting at a mosquito when I took it. ;)
