Noord Football College heads off to Colombia

THEIR FIRST

international competition

NOORD Football College football team recently received a special
farewell from the Aruba Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino as they headed
off to Colombia to participate in their first international matches.

The team has been training intensively for many months to prepare for this
important competition which takes place in Colombia between July 19th
and July 29th. They will be playing against three other teams; Arnoldo
Iguaran Football Academy, Millonarios Club and Sant Fe Club.

The goal of this football academy is to provide the students with an intensive
physical training program and proper techniques and theory to elevate
the football level on the island and give the students the opportunity to
be recognized abroad with the help of the academy’s key contacts in for
example Chile and Colombia. The academy consists of an experienced
team of international football professionals with many years of technical
background.

To motivate the team for their first international game, the Aruba Marriott
made sure to prepare a special farewell treat for them right before their
flight consisting of a delicious breakfast and a pep talk by Mrs. Carolina
Voullieme, Director of Sales & Marketing, and Mr. Brian van den Bergh,
President of NFC, who wished the team all the best of luck in Colombia.

Chef Antonio Vidal Tuesday, July 28 2015 - ARUBA TRAVELLER

visits Hollywood
Smokehouse

TEXAS celebrity chef Antonio Vidal from famed Austin restaurant
Ranch 616 stopped in to sample authentic American smoked barbecue
from Aruba’s Hollywood Smokehouse. The chef loved Hollywood’s
house-infused triple smoked brisket vodka, made with vodka
created by his good friend and Texas neighbor, Tito, Tito of Tito’s
Vodka. He can’t wait to get home and tell his buddy what Hollywood
Smokehouse is doing with his vodka all the way down in Aruba, and
needed a picture to share with Tito.

“I can’t get over the smokiness the vodka gets from your brisket--really
special and memorable,” said the chef. Fans of the brisket infused
vodka really enjoy it with the fresh bloody Marys featured every
Sunday during Hollywood Smokehouse’s Bloody Sunday special.

Hollywood Smokehouse also features several other vodkas and
tequilas infused with fresh herbs like basil, rosemary, spicy jalapeño,
and lemongrass—many of the herbs are grown right on Hollywood’s
patio.
