Greta did a very good interview last night. I guess that is why she is there and Geraldo back in the states. He could not do anything right probably because he was in Aruba flirting and showing off, the old fart.

He had to come back and have a live news lovers spat with Marcia Clark over the Michael Jackson verdict.

From Greta's blog today:

I was most impressed with Natalee's mother, Beth. She is determined and she is strong — she is not going to leave Aruba until she finds her daughter. It is hard to comprehend what this mother is going through. What "surprised" me later was myself — I thought I sounded harsh in the interview. My heart goes out to this mother and I thought when I watched the interview that I appeared not to have empathy. Nothing could be further from the truth. I would do anything to help this mother! So, as I watched the interview for the first time (when you also saw it), I was not happy with myself. I wondered if when I am upset for someone I seem cold... maybe that is my defense mechanism? Anyway, I am not going to dwell on that — we have far more important things to do like try and find this child (and the many other missing children who are not getting the same media attention, which I regret.)

We did our show from the patio behind the hotel. Many local people showed up to watch. FOX News' Atlanta bureau is responsible for setting up the show here — and I can't believe the job they did! They did an absolutely perfect job.

***snip***

After the show we were all exhausted. We have been on the road and the heat, as I noted, is punishing. But we had one last stop. We turned off the lights on the set, jumped in the car and drove into town with our cameras. We wanted to see the club where Natalee was on May 30 and wanted to see it at the time of the night/morning when she was there. I was stunned. Maybe I am getting old — or am old. I did not like the place at all. The bar is about a block off the main drag and in a not-so-safe looking area to me. The island IS safe... but this block did not leave me feeling safe. Of course the hour — 1 a.m. — never makes me feel safe and the drinking was heavy by that time. We talked to many patrons and taped them for you... you will see that tonight. All the patrons said the club is a great place and that the island is safe.

We were harassed a bit by some obnoxious patrons but that would happen outside a bar in the USA. But bottom line, I did not feel safe there and neither did anyone in my group. I hope my husband does not read this blog today because he will yell at me for going there — to a place that I did not find safe — at that hour! If he does read it: I am not going back and I was with a crew of people!
