another early morning. i overdid it a little last night so slept a little later than usual, skipped the gym, and had room service breakfast. rockin.

meetings all morning and afternoon, and then it was off to offroad ATV'ing! We hopped into a van and drove for about 30 minutes to the location of the ATV rental place. Three hours or so later, we have driven the ATVs through Aruba's national park.. stopping at the Ayo rock formation, the Gold Mill ruins and a crazy looking natural bridge.

I had a blast. almost killed myself a few times, but it was worth it! The best thing was going up this steep, rocky hill as we departed the ATV rental place. And coming back down it. Next time I'm ever travelling to a place that has ATV rentals, it's on.

I forgot my camera today so no photos till I can get some from the other folks.

Tonight, we eat at the Old Cunucu House, the oldest restaurant on the island serving Aruban food. Aruban food... well, it's kinda like a mix of all sorts of different cuisines.. some spanish, some italian. My food was OK. Good conversation and good wine all around, so that made up for it.

An early night, more meetings in the morning.. a girl could get used to this.
