Lac Bay, Bonaire, Netherlands Antilles
(Click the picture to enlarge)
This is Lac Bay on the island of Bonaire, neighbor to Aruba and Curacao. We were lucky enough to go there in February 2008 and I have just recently (finally) put together a book of that trip for my family for Christmas and came across this and other photos too delicious to keep to ourselves. See how impossibly blue that water is out in the distance? There are a dozen windsurfers out there. We tried to "walk-swim" way way out there where we were told there was a drop-off full of stingrays, but we pooped out. Off to the left of the picture is Bonaire's nudist resort. It was the only thing that kept my husband going, but even he had to give up eventually! We were the only people there the entire time we spent at Lac Bay, which I guess was about two hours. Everywhere we went on the island we basically had the place to ourselves, with the exception of a popular diving/snorkeling spot where, remarkably, we met people who lived twenty miles from us here in Massachusetts! Bonaire is a lovely, scruffy island, renown for its shore diving. If you are going for tropical flowers and lush landscape, don't. It's all about the water.
