Cor and I at Seaquarium
Beach a few months after
that fateful Trafassi concert |
The Seaquarium beach--aka Mambo beach--is one of Curaçao's most well-known, most-often-photographed, and probably the only one of all the island's beaches (yes, there's a
lot) that every single visitor to the island goes to. It was certainly the first one I saw when I came here, so this smallish, man-made strip of sand is responsible for turning what was originally a six-month stay into a total about-face in my lifestyle that's lasted over a decade. And counting.
At this beach, one Thursday night in a long-ago October, during a Trafassi concert (in which I heard a song about
"big washes, small washes" for the first time), the man that's since become my life partner and my best friend kissed me for the first time.
