Halloween

It doesn't feel like Halloween here, but I guess it never will.  I usually associate Halloween with the time when it's starting to go cold, but where I am it never does!  The weather changes have thrown me off and I only just remembered about it when another cruising friend invited me to their Halloween party, and now I'm rushing to catch up!

Halloween on a tropical island isn't very easy at all, especially if you're weeks behind, and the day before Halloween I'm still out and searching for gold paint!

I'm going to be Athena, one of the Olympian goddesses, which would've  a very easy costume to put together back in Philly, but not here!

The gohst's of Kleine Bonaire

Once upon a time there was a little island called bonaire.

 Over a few years ships came and settled on the island.  Some people went out on a stretch of land that they named Kleine Bonaire (Little Bonaire)

They built a house and lived for many happy years, but one day there was a storm.  It got bigger and bigger, there was thunder and lightning, they were hiding in there house when a spooky voice came from the closet.  It said, "You will die by the hand of JOHN RUBISKY!".

After that no one knew what had happened to the poor family and that's why Keine Bonaire is deserted.

five years later another family came to Bonaire.  They said, "Why is that little part of Bonaire abandoned?" "Its beautiful, I think we will go build a house there." So they built a house.


After a few months, another terrible storm raged and again the family died by the hand of
JOHN RUBISKY.


                                 
The people that lived on the other parts of bonaire were wondering what all this spooky business
meant.

Finally they decided that the little part of bonaire would have to stay abandoned.  They put moorings where boats could tie up too for the day, but NOT over night.

                                        After  that every one lived happily ever after,

                                                 but they still wondered who JOHN RUBISKY was.
