Rare scubacruiserx2 Posted March 26, 2017 Author #326 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Just love my Delft candle holder and child musicians from Aruba. Sent from my iPad using Forums Very nice indeed ! Pat said that she saw those in the shop as she's more the collector than I . She also inquired of the value of a piece that her mom bought in 1950 ( the year that I was born ! ) . It's a creamer cow . You put the cream inside of the cow and it pours out of it's nose ! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare scubacruiserx2 Posted March 26, 2017 Author #327 Share Posted March 26, 2017 (edited) I can understand not wanting to become a target while travelling.:p I wanted her to wear it on the ship since we were the target of many sales pitches ! I felt like we were on a time share cruise !!! ;p Edited March 26, 2017 by scubacruiserx2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upwarduk Posted March 27, 2017 #337 Share Posted March 27, 2017 upwarduk - Where in Aruba did you get your Delft ware. Thanks! Marilyn In one of the tourist shops along the waterfront in Oranjestad.

Walt fan Posted March 27, 2017 #338 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I am really enjoying these amazing pictures. The synagogue is fascinating. I learned 3 things I never knew; the settlement of Jewish people in the area; where the Spock hand sign came from; and most interesting of all Ernst Leitz and the Leica Freedom train. I had to look it up and read about it; I never knew about him. I honestly do not remember seeing anything at the Holocaust Museum in D.C. about him. I loved the children's parade; never seen anything like this! Glad you happened upon it. Thank you for posting and all of the beautiful pics; what a diversion to my work day!

Rare scubacruiserx2 Posted March 27, 2017 Author #339 Share Posted March 27, 2017 (edited) Loved the UTube video of the sunset......:) It's very relaxing to have a glass of wine on the balcony and watch . And while we find our sunrises here in Florida's East coast very energizing , a sunset is the antithesis - very chillaxing ! :cool: Edited March 27, 2017 by scubacruiserx2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After escaping pre WW II Germany , many people were employed in New York and given a model ll camera like this one . Seeing the camera drew me to the story of the Freedom Train .

Rare perfect match Posted March 28, 2017 #346 Share Posted March 28, 2017 The parade with all of the school children looked really cute! I'll bet those kids were having a lot of fun. :D Turn me loose in that Delft shop! Unfortunately, Barry will be bored to death there and will soon be acting like a bull in a china shop! :eek: I don't think he will break anything, but you never know. I will make sure I don't keep him there too long. :rolleyes: I love the Delft cow! We had a cow pitcher like that, but it was definitely not Delft. I do remember having a couple of pieces of Delft, a small plate and a trivet, I think. I'm sure I still have them somewhere. :confused: I love all the sunset video and pictures! Joe, I haven't downloaded the baseball pictures yet. We have had a good crazy, busy week and I just haven't gotten to them yet. There was a lot of glare in the ball park, so I didn't do as much picture taking as I would have liked. While I'm pretty sure I had the camera on the right settings, I know already that I didn't frame a lot of the shots very well, and some are very affected by all the glare. I will keep working on it.

upwarduk Posted March 28, 2017 #349 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Joe, Is the last picture the banana bus? I remember their tours being very noisy!🙈 Is Freewinds a permanent fixture in Aruba? She was there when we were there in March 2013 and I see her often on the Aruba cams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare scubacruiserx2 Posted March 28, 2017 Author #350 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Joe, Is the last picture the banana bus? I remember their tours being very noisy! Is Freewinds a permanent fixture in Aruba? She was there when we were there in March 2013 and I see her often on the Aruba cams. I'm not sure what the bus was but we saw it at the port several times . The ship is based in Aruba and travels as " The perfect religious retreat dedicated to enabling one to devote his full attention to spiritual growth " , according to the Church of Scientology . But a much different story was told by a lady name Valeska Paris who claims that she was held on the ship against her will for 12 years in this story from the Independent . http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/cruise-from-hell-i-was-trapped-on-scientology-ship-while-tom-partied-6271542.html Talk about Pirates of the Caribbean !
