mi dushi aruba

so i've decided to make another quick and brief spring break post b/c i had been meaning to do so, but i never did, and the time is probably past, since i've been back to griping about law school things, but this is going to be a public service, so you'll thank me for it, i'm sure of it.

first of all, our culture lesson. "mi dushi" is how you say "i love" in papiamento.

second of all, we loved the bar at la cabana far more than the bar at the marriott. the second time we showed up, they knew us. of course, that's probably not very difficult, since the first two times we went to the bar, the five of us were the only ones there. plus, we're f$!#in' delights, as i'm sure you can imagine. plus their drink specials were on everything, not just a specific drink, and they had two happy hours per day. oh! and they had great music! i don't even like to dance, but somehow the music at the bar compelled me to move every time i heard it! it was like it wasn't even me!

but the best thing they did was introduce us to the "mi dushi."

essentially, it's a pina colada colored with blue curacao. then you put creme de banana in the bottom of the glass, fill the glass with your blue pina colada, and top it off with some coecoei. now i don't know what this coecoei is, but in the interest of informed journalism, i had the man show me the bottle, so i could get the spelling correct. not that jen and i could find it in the liquor aisles in aruba, so i'm not sure that bodes very well for finding it here, and none of us could really discern what flavor it is, but we would guess cherry, and really isn't what's most important that it is red? actually that is what's most important b/c the drink is intended to resemble the aruban flag.
so now you have learned something new today. a few something news. and one of them is a tasty beverage. you are welcome!!
