That was a surprise!

We were taking a stroll thru the greenery adjoining the beach when suddenly, we came across this art studio!! We went up and explored all the paintings by a local artist. However, the artist himself was not there. We enjoyed the paintings, nonetheless.

On an aside, twenty years back, I would have just walked past this. Being married to an artist, now I am sucked into exploring art in every place we go. Appreciating art, of course, still escapes me. Till somebody comes up with a painting of the picture proving Pythagorean theorem, I suspect, this is not going to change much.

Plastic bottle art

When we got down the airport, there was a sign that the island is trying to get its plastic problem under control. The resort has a nice park and garden as part of the property. We saw quite a few sculptures done with plastic bottles.

For all that, I am a bit curious, why they give our water in the room in plastic bottles.
