Last day in Puerto Rico

Tomorrow is my last full day in PR. I am tan and rested. I have rediscovered my love for swimming and having salty beach hair. I look forward to seeing my family and friends in the Tampa area, but if it's just too cold (55 degrees in Tampa tonight) I am reassured knowing that I can fly back to PR for a mere $77 +tax on Jetblue Airlines from Orlando (What a deal, coming from Juneau it's amazing to fly anywhere for under $1,000). I will be posting more PR beach pictures once I develop my waterproof 35mm camera. 

These images are of Shacks at dusk. Same day different directions.

Wild Horses

So much has happened today. The morning started with dark clouds and warm rain. The rain let up so we quickly headed to Shacks beach for a walk. As we parked it started to rain again. Near our parking spot there are mangrove trees that house egrets and this amazing iguana (below). We watched the iguana for several minutes. He was captivating, bobbing his head around and climbing trees. 

Back at the house I napped a bit then we headed to Crashboat beach (picture above), known for brightly colored boats resting on the shore. We ate lunch at a local chain El Meson and headed home for another rest. We went back out to Shacks beach at dusk for that walk we didn't take this morning. It was overcast and cool, perfect! I found more sea glass on this walk than all other walks thus far, and best of all there were wild horses!!! and of course I didn't have my camera. Oh they were fantastic, like two little kids chasing each other back and forth over the dunes. Like frosting on a cake we had thai for dinner, yumm!
