Happy New Year!
31 December 2008 | Curacao
So, after an 8-month hiatus, we arrived in Curacao on New Year's Eve at 8:30pm - 24 hours after we left! We met a few interesting people on the plane, among them Bart, Karen and their 2 kids. They invited us to watch fireworks and ring in the new year, so around 11:00 we met up with them and Bart's sister, Esther, and watched the fireworks display from the top of this little hill in Curacao.
It was AMAZING...everyone in Curacao buys fireworks for New Years. And I'm not talking about the little Pinwheels and Piccolo Pete's we grew up with. In Curacao, there was a store on every street corner selling full-on, professional-type fireworks! The sky was lit up all around the island (we had a 360-degree view), and the noise was deafening........1000-foot strings of M-80's going off all over the place. It was very cool! At midnight, we all toasted with champagne and eventually headed to our apartment...a great way to ring in the new year!!
Does this sound a bit like a war zone?
