debs all i can say is WOW 
Aruba - Volcanic Island of the Carribean
17
Aruba is one of the Dutch "A-B-C" islands of the Caribbean (Aruba, Bonaire, Curacao).
Aruba is known for it's beaches, whereas Bonaire is known for the availability of "shore diving". In Bonaire, the coral reefs are near the shoreline and you can don your scuba gear and swim out to the reefs to dive rather than having to go out on a dive boat. My husband and I have been to Bonaire several times for scuba diving but this was our first trip to Aruba.
We took a little excursion one day to see some of the island sights away from the resort where we stayed.
Volcanic rock lines the shore on the Northeastern side of the island.

Lots of little stone altars had been erected throughout this area of the shoreline.

There is an inactive volcano you can walk to the top of. 538 steps in the heat and humidity seems a lot farther than it sounds!!

Well, the one I built was to honor the elements:
Earth, Air, Fire, Water and Spirit.
My guess is that most who build them are either doing the same or making an altar in honor of their ancestors.
I've been to Arube, it's beautiful there. We went horseback riding on the beach... galloping! Lots of fun.
