...about the ceremony that happened last weekend. And about snorkeling.
But it's not happening right now, because the internet is being really wonky (I'll be lucky to get this to post) and besides, I have to go to bed early because I have work to do tomorrow.
Think about that for a while, if you feel like it  ;-)

PS I saw not one but two moray eels today!
Oh, and I did upload more pics to the usual place.

*thinks...you and Rik got married in an underwater voodoo wedding, and today you have a job painting Moray eels to sell as souvenirs.

But just remember -

When you're diving at night and you're feet feel the bite,
That's a moray!

:D

Sorry about the "you're" - the hazards of C & P are many!

So what was the ceremony about?

How can you have a country within a country? And what happens to Aruba and Bonaire?

You guys have the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, n'est ce pas?

Nobody calls Northern Ireland a country, except when they're pretending to be a national football team. I wish they never had one, because then George Best and Pat Jennings maybe could have played for England.

People sometimes refer to NI as a "province", but that term raises political hackles. In fact, so does the term "Northern Ireland". Irish nationalists always refer to the "north of Ireland". You can't win this one; there is no politically neutral expression.

Even if noone would call NI a country

they still would have their own government (information valid as per 13-10-2010; may be subject to change with or without notice), which only Northern Irelanders can vote for, that occasionally makes a law that applies only in Northern Ireland, etcetera. While the relation Curacao-Kingdom of the Netherlands is not the same as NI-UK, it is, for explanatory purposes, sufficiently similar.
