Aruba’s ambassador Winnie turned 80 last week The Aruban Iguana

It’s almost impossible to come to Aruba without seeing this amazing
Winnie and Skip Speed have been coming to Aruba since they discovered our island in 1499 reptile. The iguana is a herbivore and can grow till 1.5 meter from
and that’s not a joke ha ha. We all wish Winnie a pleasant stay on the island and Aruba is head to tail. It is native to Central, South America and the Carib-
truly her second home surrounded by so many friends and family. Masha pabien Winnie, cu bean. The iguana can also change colors to camouflage in its sur-
hopi amor. roundings. The baby iguana has neon green color and it’s a very
cute reptile.

This is one of my favorite beaches on the island and a must visit
when in Aruba. There are many things that make this beach
special. Mangel Halto has a nice sandy beach that will have a
pinky color around 12:30pm. Lots of the evergreen mangroves, Don’t leave Aruba without this picture your in gallery and sure it’s the most iconic photo you can
a dock where you can dive into the sea. Also one of the only have of your vacation here in Aruba. To take this shot you must wait for the exact position of the
places where can snorkel and see live conch shells at the bot- sun and ask anybody on the beach to take this shot. For the best angle, the one that is taken
tom of the sea. The only beach where you can see 8 tonality of the photo or the photographer must go below eye level as much as possible to get the right
blue and you must see it for yourself. If you love photography composition. This is a photo I took of a family from Peru who were vacationing here in Aruba
just like I do, this is the place to be!!! last week.
