Morning hours

I went to Santa Cruz Beach early morning to see if the sea still is ruff.
But not so much anymore.
Talked to some fishermen who catched small fishes in a kind of "river" from the open sea through a nice area with mangroves. They stay there for hours to get some fishes, and making jokes together. They showed me a big Iguana sitting on a sunny rock. . it was fun.
Captain Goodlife with his "Rent a boat" was still in bed I think, but nice music coming out from his little "homemade" house faced to the sea, could tell that he was on his way. The dogs outside, there to protect ?, had a relaxed attitude not expecting people hanging around so early. Keep quite!

I continued the long walk along a smaller road up to the main road with more traffic.
It´s about 2,5 km and I passed two older men using there morning hours probably to steal copper from a road lamp.
OH! Maybe it´s why every third lamp has no light in the night time....Is it so that people steal the copper lines and switch off the lighs.

While I am walking along the roads through nice nature I get good ideas for the Cultural Center I am planning.
A car give a horn. I hand is waving. "Happy morning" a friend is screaming.
YES!
Happy morning!
Dui!

The Tumba King 2009

Last night Robertico Balentin became the winner of the “tumba festival” on Curaçao with the song: “Den Bahia”. Now his song is the official anthem of the 2009 Carnival on Curaçao.

Charming Charms

Are you also C H A R M addicted?
I see the trendy charms with many followers everywhere now a days.
Extremly popular still in USA and Europe and you find them also here in Curacao since some years. More promoted than ever I think.
People discuss there charms in special forums, they redesign there bracelets every day with new combinations. Nice as you design your own unique jewelry and have endless of variations for your choice.
Here are many brands in the market following the first Pandora from Denmark and most of them are compatible with each other so you have endless of combinations.
My sister and I have found the Italian brand B I A G I very nice with high quality and good design. We have the Swedish market . so it´s there now!
If you want to be our retailer in Sweden you are welcome to contact me.

new steps

The last weeks have been days of planning and thinking. I am in a process of moving to another house and also to start up complete new projects. This year will be a restart and I am really looking forward what´s coming out of all this. The creative process is just in the beginning.
In the meantime I do some jewelry and for the moment I adore the felted beads I recently bought. Some necklaces has been done.

Another week

It´s Monday again and a week pass too fast.
The weekend was creative, I meet some friends for Salsa dancing and that is always a bonus for quality of living.
I also meet a friend I haven´t seen for a while. We talked a lot and sipped a good wine, and some really good ideas showed up during our hours together.
So I feel full of new energy this Monday.

Here is a lot of things going on to create and to think about. I am just in the beginning of a new process and I find it very stimulating to start up things again.
After a short swim I am ready for a brainstorming again.

It´s Friday

NIce to meet so many Swedish tourists staying on Curacao for the moment. One had swimmed with a turtle yesterday and it seams this same turtle has become so tourist friendly and stay there in Playa Lagun just to have fun with all snorkeling people.
Is nice indeed to swim so close to the little turtle.
Today this Friday we shall take some of the Swedes to a nice restaurant that the tourists not so easy find themself. Asia de Cuba with good food and THE place for Salsa dancers every Friday. I love it!
