A view of the colorful homes that grace wonderful Willemstad.

First we have a statue in the main plaza. Next we have the façade of a vibrant yellow church. Inside the church is a picture of the Virgin Mary. Next is a gold alter of Christ's crucifixion. Next is a close up photo of Virgin Mary. Next is a beautiful painting of Christ on his knees in nature gazing up into the light of the heavens. Next are the wooden pews for people to sit in. Last is Christ being put on the cross.

Balmy Days in Grand Turks- January 2014 

Wistful that this was the last stop on the voyage. The first photo is of swaying palm trees and white picket fence- it is reminiscent of "Sway With Me" by Michael Bouble. Next is a bell shaped statue. Next is a promenade into the ocean and a view of the ocean from the sandy walkway. Next are beautiful leafy green trees. This is me and Aiden near the souvenir shop. Here I am on a tram by the coast. Last is a quaint red-roofed home at dusk.
