Little Pink Houses

We started out for the far end of the island today to do some exploring but just out of Willemstad the skies opened, so much so that we had to pull over and let it run itself out. This was about the third time in the morning it had rained like this, the first two happening when we were still in our apartment.

When the rain lessened we changed plans and headed back into the city. We decided to do a walking tour (self-directed) of the heritage buildings in the Pietermai and Scharloo districts. There are over 700 heritage buildings in the city. It's also interesting comparing the restored buildings with those that are not. The buildings can range from residences, businesses, government buildings and hotels. Half way through our walking tour we stopped at a funky little Italian place for spaghetti with pesto and at least twice while walking we had to run to an awning to avoid being soaked. Luckily the downpours usually last less than ten minutes. To finish off our day Mary did some shopping and we stopped for another Dutch fondue.
