Last Stop, Aruba

414thurs23

I snapped a photo of the lighthouse as we were driving away. I spent most of our few minutes there talking with the driver because I couldn’t figure out what he was saying about the lighthouse, and needed him to explain it in English. Apparently a ship named California ran aground here, and the people of Aruba took care of the people until they could get on their way again. In return, the ship people went diving and retrieved the furniture in the ship, and sold it to the locals for cheap prices.
