Compananzi Posted: Wed Jul 27, 2005 11:24 am i was in aruba jun25-jul 5. that pond is always full. not all ponds/lakes evaporate, there is no way it could refill by the time i was there if it was empty on 5-30 I believe its drainage pond for all the surrounding hotels, ( not sure if its even raw sewage). They call it salina because it rather shallow reminiscent of Bonairs Salt water desalineation to extract Salt. Not sure if the history had this as a actual Salina. It does not go into the seas.

By the way, I posted an apology to you, but I realize you must get 1,000 pings a minute. So, here it is . . .

I appreciate all your hard work (and other Freepers too, like sweet maggief) to document it all and provide the latest up-to-the-minute-news. It is WONDERFUL! And so are you! :o)
