All 11 of us went to the International Bible Church (www.bonaireibc.org)<\/span> this morning for their worship service at 9 am.\u00a0 The church has no air conditioning, but has large windows and doors to let any available breeze pass through the building.\u00a0 The message on the finished work of Christ was such a good reminder that our salvation does not depend on our works.\u00a0 The pastor reminded us that we should be concentrating on ‘renewing our minds’ rather than\u00a0trying to do works in our own strength.<\/p>\n

After church, Daryl and Carol Van Dyken invited us to convoy with them on a tour of the north end of the island of Bonaire.\u00a0 We had a quick dinner at our duplex then met them at 1 pm. \u00a0We took the road north on the west coast to Gotomeer (lake with a few flamingos).\u00a0 Since there was a cruise ship in port, there were tour buses and cars blocking all the scenic points.\u00a0 We traveled on to the Rincon, the first town on Bonaire established by Spain in the 1500s.<\/p>\n

We then arrived at the east coast of Bonaire where there are 12 large wind turbines.\u00a0 The wind is almost always blowing out of the east, but like with any wind or solar energy source, there is still need for oil fueled engines on standby to make up for this power when the wind is calm or the sun doesn’t shine.<\/p>\n

At the south end of the line of wind turbines are some undercut rocks with ancient paintings.\u00a0 From there we traveled the shorter route back to Kralendijk, the capital of Bonaire.\u00a0 It is the second, and only other, town established on Bonaire.<\/p>\n

After arriving back at the duplex, most of us men went to Bachelor Beach to cool down before supper.<\/p>\n

Since the internet seems to be working fairly consistently, I used Skype to make my usual Sunday evening phone call to my mother in Colorado.\u00a0 We then Skyped Allan, Joyce and family and tried out our new webcam.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
