It's translated on the Plein Air Curacao web site:

"The caption reads: One of the artists that captured Curaçao this morning at Caracas Bay, Thomas Kitts"
Also, your video is posted on their website now.
Yes, but not such small print! Congrats on your successes this summer!!
It says something like..."Funny man entertains the local kids with balloon animals and magic tricks.
I'm rusty on my Dutch, but I'm sure it's pretty close. ;?)
Ouch Randy, that's funny! And pretty close too.
The print is way too small to really make out (even enlarged) but Dutch is one of the languages at Google translator and the headline translates as Landscape Painters Capture Curacao on Dock.
If you have the actual article, just type it in at Google translator. But beware - I've used it with other languages and often it doesn't go QUITE right and if you translate back you may find that you sound like a 3 year old or some things sound insulting! ;-D
If I remember my Dutch ( web translation is never accurate ) it says: "Artist suspected in daring bank holdup".
Something like that,
Mike

Coincidentally, while I was in Telluride last July, there was a bank robber caught hiding a few houses down the street from my host's house. Not kidding.
Whew, that was a close one!... (grin)
