Haunted Architecture

Last week's art lesson was a lot of fun!

We combined some Halloweenish spooky houses with a little architecture lesson and drew some fantastic haunted houses. Using scales and triangles, we measured and drew straight lines to make our drawings. Then we added lots of spooky things like Frankenstein in the window and flying bats.
(I especially liked the upside-down witch on the broom with her hat falling off!)

Aruba - Hadicurari

Another - better - version of the restaurant next to Moomba Beach. It's name is Hadicurari - thanks Julia!

What a beautiful place. It is wedged in between Moomba and the Marriott Surf Club where we stayed. It's got that great island openness with lots of bright colors and propped-up awnings...

Someday I'd actually love to eat there. Has anyone? What do you think? We can check it out at http://www.hadicurari.com

Aruba - Moomba Beach 2

This is a beautiful little restaurant in Aruba at Moomba Beach. I have to say that I do not remember the name of it. The restaurant is on the beach and the blue canopies are for the sunbathing beds they have there.
