This was taken at our favorite beach in Aruba.  It is far away from the hotels and tourists, tucked away on the other end of the island.  You really can only find it if a local brings you there...which is exactly how we found it last year.

When my husband was unemployed for 20 weeks, we agreed to rent out our house in Aruba.  Someone else is living there until January of 2010.  For our trip last week, we found a Bed & Breakfast not far from our house.  The other couple staying there was from France and did not have a car.  We invited them to go to "our" beach one day.

I took French in college and could understand every few words when they spoke with eachother.  It didn't take a French/English dictionary to translate when she sat down on this beach, sighed and said "Ahhh, paradise".

In any language, yes, indeed, the only word to describe this spot is paradise.
