Well, we did it. We are certified scuba divers! We were aiming for "open water diver" (bachelors degree), but settled for "scuba diver" (associates degree). Unfortunately, Tom has bad congestion/sinus infection and his ears would not tolerate anything further than 30ish feet (I made it to 47 feet), but we were able to check enough off to get certified. His ears actually got so bad after diving today that he has a doc appt in the AM tomorrow. Let's hope the self-proclaimed specialty scuba doc has something that'll work for him.
Now, onto the rest of our vacation. We visited Cadushy Distillery today. They make alcohol from the kadushi cactus, that grows on bonaire. They also make cactus vodka and a rum and whiskey. The whiskey is actually infused with tobacco leaves. Cool! So, we bought some bottles to bring home. Yum! We also snapped some photos of the flamingos on Lake Gottamer, a smelly, briny lake that flamingoes love.
Tomorrow some donkey love. No, not that kind of love. Donkey Sanctuary love. Bonaire style.
The very informal distillery "tour". Just us and a Dutch couple.
