Day 2 in Aruba had us starting a little later because of the time difference and maybe one to many adult beverages. Jackie however was up at the ass crack of dawn planning how we were gonna spend our time here. This was a tad bit different because we were use to not having an itinerary and we never traveled with a woman in our group before. So adjusting to her and making her feel comfortable was paramount. I, in all of my glorious splendor walked into the kitchen (shirtless of course like the Greek gawd that I am.) There I was met with the illustrious illumination and the abundance of sun, shining through the windows. Gazing upon my melaninated colored skin, attempting to kissing every cell in my body.
The atmosphere was somewhat placid. I watched the native wild life sitting on a concrete wall, sun bathing through the kitchen window. The smell of lemon fresh linen filled the air with jubilation. As I stood there in the quiet, I decided to cooked breakfast for the everyone. I got in that damn kitchen and whipped up some eggs and waffles and bacon and shit. Then I started playing “Everlasting God by William Murphy!” Those negros started to smell what the rock was cooking and before you knew it pwen, all of em’ came running in the kitchen asking me what smelled so good? (Now you remember that scene in Baby Boy when Vein Rhames was in the kitchen scrambling eggs in shit? Well thats how I looked at them mofos.) I told everybody, ” Don’t worry about the horse being blind just load the got damn wagon.. now gone sit down and I will fix you some to eat!” After I fixed their plates, I sat back like a black momma does with my arms folded with a smile on my face and watched them eat like savages.
After everybody’s belly was full, we made our way to the Renaissance hotel. This is where all of major shopping was. They had a cool water feature behind the escalator that I though was pretty cool that lead out to the ocean. There was a Christmas tree in the center of the mall that had some damn unicorn heads on it for ornaments. Now I don’t know what that was about, but it was weird as hell. Unfortunately most of the stores were closing at 5 p.m. because it was New Years Eve. Now if shopping is your thing, then this place had every high end store there from Louis Vuitton to Prada and everything else under the sun.
After an hour or two of walking around and trying to find some food. We made the mistake of asking one of the local security guards at the mall, where can we find some good food. An I knew the moment that I saw the rings on his pinky and index fingers, his shirt open and showing off his gold chain and chest hair, his gold tooth on the side of his mouth and the part going down the left side of his head. He was about to send us to some bull shit.
An lawd was I right, we ended up going to this Indonesia Resturant called Bentang Bali Indonesian & international cuisine.
