It was a cloudy day that October 31 of last year, and we were standing on the side of a busy street in Willemstad, the capital of Curaçao.  Willemstad is a quaint and very picturesque little town that features a lot of interesting Dutch colonial architecture.  The charming buildings come in myriad colors that draw the eye without assaulting the sensibilities.  It just works, and works very well.

Wednesday gave us a look at various sites in Morocco and Grand Canary Island.  We’ll continue today with the Las Palmas Cathedral, the Canary Island town of Teror, and wind up our tour in Funchal, Madeira.  Madeira is interesting because, let’s face it, where else can you go careening down a steep, asphalt city street in a wicker toboggan?
