List Day: Eight Puerto Rico Experiences

1. Wandering along Playa Lucia, and watching a dirty, old, pervert surreptitiously repositioning his car so he could watch the white chick in the swimsuit.


2. Driving past signs for a Ferreteria and learning, with some dismay, that it is a hardware store, and not a place where you can have ferret for lunch.


3. Driving back to our hotel near Yabucoa after dark on Highway 3, a G-string width road that wends around a mountain wherever there happened to be space to lay some pavement, and swerving around a grimy, staggering man stumbling up the road against the flow of traffic.


4. Seeing kids riding a horse bareback along the beach.


5. Seeing a million cats at one of the forts in Old San Juan, only to discover the "neuter and release" shelter situated at the foot of the fort.


6. Getting lost in a town called Florida on the south side of El Yunque, and wishing that the roads had names.


7. Hiking down the landslide-prone road in El Yunque and watching a jail work detail take meticulous care of a half-mile stretch of road that's closed to the public.


8. Going on a kayak ride in Fajardo to see a bay full of glowing crap and having a shrimp jump in my pants.

What did you do while I was gone?
