Adriana This is Adriana at a rock formation on the island. No one knows for sure how these rocks got here. The current thinking is that they ended up this way after a volcano created the island. The entire north shore of the island is edged by cliffs of ancient coral, some 40 feet above sea level. There are stories that the old people tell, of an earth quake that raised the floor of the sea right out of the water. There are other rock formations on the island as well, most of dolomite.
Windsurfing The favorite sport on the island depends on whom you ask. The locals love soccer and baseball. The tourists love windsurfing. Why? Because of the constant Trade Winds and the relatively flat water. The Windsurf Village on Aruba is a great place to camp out with the camera. Many top professionals of the world stay and practice right in front of the Village. Most all the hotels have windsurfing included in the watersports packages. Just ask. Or rent a board and get some instruction from The Windsurf Village. We didn't try windsurfing, either.
Clouds So, we hope you've enjoyed our little trip to Aruba. It is one of the best places we've found on earth, and we keep going back.
