Day 6 - Beachside in Puerto Rico

We drove into Isabela and met Nomar's ex-wife Ana and her mother Cuchina. We found a wonderful roadside bar just across the street from the beach.





Raymond, his mother Ana, and grandmother Cuchina.








Nomar and me.




This is the beach!

She likes my Jets cap! She has exceptional taste in football teams!

Day 6 - Isabela, Puerto Rico

We continued west along the northern coast of Puerto Rico. This is from a roadside stop on the highway where Raymond likes to stop on his way home from San Juan. The view cannot be beat!







This is an old railroad tunnel built in WWII. Nothing much to see right now but it takes you to a beautiful spot on the island!










It's raining in the rain forest!


















Nomar on the beach.

























Fuzzy is plum tuckered out from his walk along the beach.

Day 6 - Arecibo, Puerto Rico

No, I didn't forget Day 5, but that day we relaxed even more than we had all week. We slept in, drove around a little bit and then walked down to the Atlantic Beach Hotel bar to drink beer and chill!



Raymond met us at the hotel and took us to the Arecibo Lighthouse and park on the northwest coast of Puerto Rico. It's a brand new park that had just opened, and geared mainly toward kids but we had a good time, too.


Recreations of ancient islanders life and culture.


Iguanas are everywhere.




The aquarium exhibit had sandbar sharks and moray eels!















Turtle kisses?







From the lighthouse, we had a beautiful view of the ocean.













The Arecibo lighthouse.











Beautiful countryside!










More iguanas!







I asked Fuzzy to pet one while I took his picture. His response is not appropriate for general audiences.
