On Thursday morning, we got up early and drove all the way over to the west side of the island (where all the touristy stuff is) to check out a butterfly farm that we'd seen advertised. This nice Dutch lady was our tour guide!

I wouldn't go as far to say that the butterfly farm was "ripshit exciting," but never been before so it was pretty cool to walk around the garden and look at the hundreds of varieties of butterflies.
