Our day on a beach





Eagle Beach is a long stretch of gorgeous white sand that stretches from one beach to another. The result is that the entire northeastern side of Aruba is really one long beach, and it rivals anything in the Caribbean. There are all sorts of palapas to provide shade for no charge (a bonus in the Caribbean!), and we were able to lie in the shade of a palapa on our blue tarp.

Today, Eagle Beach had some great wave action. The waves ran in series of about 5 minutes out of every 15 minutes, and I had a blast playing in the waves.

In between the wave segments, I relaxed on our Swimways inflatable float in the water. 'Cause dirtying 18 plates at breakfast is very exhausting, don't you know. ;-)
