At Sea and Aruba

I am hoping that I can post a picture or two to show you how far we have gone. I did not write til now because I found myself very tired from Castaway Cay. On sea days, there are tons of activities that Disney provides for all ages. Towel folding or Origami. Bingo, yes Bingo. And
Cooking events and the like. I spent a lot of time just resting and working on my photos in the hope that I can upload one or two.
Then we went to Aruba. This is my first time in Aruba, and it did not look appealing at first, but once we got on the bus ride and went to this little Island they have called "De Palm" Island, it looked a whole lot better and had a bunch of fun things to do there.
My sister and I did the Sea Trek dive. Have you heard of this? This is where you were a diving type helmet and go underwater. You do not get you hair wet at all, as it is all under pressure, and so you can breath naturally and walk on the ocean floor and feed the fish and stuff. It is so cool. Our guide said you do not even need to know how to swim. It is important to stand up streight, as this keeps the pressure in the helmet balanced. If you look down, water can fill the helmet a bit, but do not be afraid, because all you have to do to get rid of the water should this happen, is to stand up straight, that's It!!! I know because the first thing I did was look too far down, and choked a bit on the saltwater, but all was fine as I just straightened up,and the water was at the proper level. It is a really great way to see the ocean and Aruba is soo sooo clear you can see so very far. Beautiful, blue green clearity. It was great fun, and after, my sister and I ate a lovely lunch and curled up on a chase lounge. Really fun.
A really fun thing happened as my sister saw a shirt she wanted and it turned out to belong to one of the Snuba experts.(This is where you snorkel with an air line, so no need to come up for air too much.) She asked if she could buy it and he sais sure, after getting her to try it on so he could see her in it. She was delighted to get this shirt, and it did look good on her.
hopefully there are a couple of pictures below.
