Curacao Photo Essay: Art, Architecture and Some Very Dark Skies

8 November 2012 by 5 Comments

I enjoyed food, music and sun in Curacao but I also enjoyed admiring the art and architecture in this amazing island!  High kudos to the Hotel Kura Holanda for preserving the beautiful architecture and allowing visitors to walk through it!

No better way than sharing pictures to help you see what caught my eye.
