Day 13 - Back to Jan Thiel

The catamaran apparently did a number on all of us. Being on it in the open sun for over four hours added the final crisp to our already burnt skin. We had made plans to go out and do an ATV tour or go to one of our favorite beach on the north side of the island, but to how everyone was feeling we decide to stay closer to home. Jan Thiel would be the target and shopping would be the preferred activity of the afternoon. (Preferred by only half of the party - The "T's" went along for the ride.)

We rode around Jan Thiel a bit looking at some of the amazing seaside homes and then headed to Kyoto for a well deserved sushi lunch. Thomas and I ate there the other day and wanted Anna and Olivia to try it. Jamie, the host, greeted us at the door and welcomed us in. We all tried different sashimi and rolls we had not had before. Everything was great.

After lunch he headed to the shops on the beach and walked around a bit. An hour later we were done with shopping and decided to head back toward Santa Barbara. On our drive back we detoured to the ostrich farm. We would spend the remainder of the day there.


While at the ostrich farm, Anna and I met a local mosaic artist, Susan Rudolph and her daughter, Nancy. We chatted for quite some time and then were invited to come visit her studio. Her place was not far from the Ostrich farm, so Anna and Thomas walked with them while I drove the car back to their place.

Susan, born in Hungary, moved to Curacao back in 1999. She is very passionate about her work and it definitely showed in her enthusiasm and pieces. Very talented. We left here place around 7:30pm.
