Honore here: I have just returned, Sunday before last, from a week-long visit to the desert isle of Aruba – what a grand experience: sitting on the beach, staring out at the sky, the ocean, the birds in flight and on the beach, constantly foraging for food…you haven’t "lived" until you’ve seen a pelican dive […]
