Wednesday - we drive around the entire country in a jeep!

Ok, so it's not that big of a country. But we did do some serious off-roading, as our newly re-shuffled internal organs can attest to. Our intrepid driver (Craig) got us to some pretty cool places as we spent the day exploring the island away from the beaches. There are a lot of places out there where you won't find any people for miles.

Some highlights: a chapel built in 1750 and still in use today; a natural bridge created by the wave action eroding the rocks; an old, abandoned gold smelting plant; and lunch at an quirky little restaurant in San Nicholas - which is also the home of Aruba's legal red-light district (the Dutch are so enlightened...)

We took a break from the fancy dinner fare - the Crofts had room service, and the Weavers ventured out to a nearby Hard Rock Café where they enjoyed a surprisingly good band.
