Meat and the Harbor

It sounds like the title of a bad novel, but really just 2 parts of my last weekend of Karnaval vacation. 

Friday night I went with a group of people from work as well as their respective visitors (since I had none of my own) to a place called Equis.  It is only open on Friday nights and serves beef, chicken and booze (with a side of bread).  There is no silverware, but lots of napkins.  You run in to grab a table and order your skewers of meat: all beef, all chicken or half & half.  For the nine of us we got 3 beef, 2 half and half and 1 chicken.
 

The food was great and the company too.  I would definitely like a return visit before I leave here.

The harbor tour was a bonus for me since Judith invited me to join her and her parents.  The Curacao Maritime Museum does these tours when there are enough people.  They take the group out on one of the ferries around the harbor from the water side.  Even the refinery (Isla) looks neat from this view.  We saw the shipping and docks up close as well as ships and where they pump the oil.  A fun tour (even though it was mostly in Dutch) and a definite must see in Curacao.
