A white (sand) Christmas on Eagle Beach. Aruba

We got an early start today, and after a wonderful breakfast, including eggnog, in the dining room, and lots of Merry Christmas hugs with crew we've gotten to know so well, we walked off the ship and almost immediately on to a #10 bus to the beach. I had emailed Arubus a couple of months ago to see if they would be operating on Christmas, and was glad to hear that they would.
Within a couple of hours, this beach was filled with locals and families staying on Aruba for the holidays. It was a perfect day, because the air was hot (88F), but the occasional clouds made it bearable.
