The Adventures of Rock

The thermometer may say 84 but the feels like indicator says 94 and the UV index is at 10+ extreme which is the highest rating.  This means u should stay out of the sun especially at the hottest point of the day.  Of course that means Mr. B and Miss Ginger dove into the big blue sea right around 2 oclock, and boy was that refreshing.

Now some people get confused when people refer to the island of Curacao as The Rock and even think it was named after the benevolent ruler of the realm of Tuturutu but the truth be told it was called The Rock long before there were any rulers.  You see Curacao is a semi arid or near desert environment and can go many months without rain with mostly cactus growing wild in the countryside.  During this time there is alot of dry rock around and the name kind of stuck.

Enjoy all!
