Miluska Michalkiewicz: 6 February 1997

Last year we went to Aruba. It was a beautiful island, the people were very friendly, and the weather was great - hot but dry. We also went to the beach and the temperature of the water was between 85 to and 90 degrees -- just how I liked it. The people in Aruba spoke in Papiamento which is a combination of a few languages. We went into a submarine which went 150 feet deep into the ocean. It was so beautiful, it looked like we were in another world.
