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.

But architecture is not the point of this blog; automobiles are.  Lots of automobiles.  Classic automobiles.  Automobiles ranging from American muscle of the ’60s to the classis European econoboxes of the same era.

Ursula and I were slowly making your way back to our cruise ship, NCL’s Norwegian Spirit, when we suddenly found ourselves in the midst of a car show.

If you’re a lover of cars, sit back and enjoy the show:

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?

Monday we took a look at Barcelona, Spain, and Casablanca and Rabat in Morocco.  Today we continue with some more photographs of Rabat before moving onto the Hassan II Tower and the Mausoleum of Mohammed V, the Taroudant Palace, a spice shop in Taroudant, and finally Playa las Palmas de Gran Canaria (Grand Canary Island).
