After leaving Curaçao, I arrived on the neighboring island of Aruba. The first place I visited was the Casibari Rock Formations. From the top of the rock formations, one can see for a great distance, although much of the vista is occupied by acacia, cactus, and rocks. In the distance, the Santuario Santa Filomena, a Catholic church, can be seen, as can the volcanic structure, the Hooiberg (Haystack). Around Casibari are many flowering trees, including a species of Robinia.
