No time for snow!
PALM BEACH — Julio (42), Eli (40), Renato (10) and Gabriel (8) are from Chile.
As it is wintertime there, the family is on a winter holiday; no skiing, snowboarding or snowtubing, but sunbath- ing on Aruba is what they are here for. We caught up with this nice family at Fishes & More Restaurant in the Arawak Garden across from the Barceló Resort, where they were having the Catch of the Day Ca-
ribbean style and chicken Parmesan. The kids ordered chicken nuggets, fries and a salad - something kids all over the world are crazy about.
Julio and Eli like the island a lot and the food at Fishes & More was great as well with good portions. We hope you had a great time on Aruba - and best of luck in your winter temperatures! q
