Faro Cabo Rojo

Images, , , — Stephen on 2 January 2010 @ 8:42 AM — 0 comments

We ended up hanging out on Flamenco beach in Culebra a bit and drinking beers with a really nice group of people who took the plane with us. They were all from PR, and got into a heated discussion of the best things to see and do while there. One thing they could all agree on that was a not-to-miss: The lighthouse at Cabo Rojo. This place was literally the farthest from us on the island possible. Which meant it was about a 2 hour drive. We hopped in the car on the morning of our last day, and set out to see the lighthouse, then made our way up the west coast towards another famous beach, Crash Boat, just in time for one of the most perfect sunsets I have ever witnessed.

Fear of Flying / Culebra

Since we missed our chance to go to Vieques due to bad weather/missing our flight connection out of Miami, we decided to go instead to Culebra for the day, via a (we had heard) death defying 10 minute flight from Ceiba on the main island. As we psyched ourselves up for several minutes of pure terror, it never materialized. The flights to and from the island were far smoother than just about any regular sized plane I have ever taken. And although the waters were very choppy on Culebra (we had been told it was like glass), it was still a beautiful place to go.

Luquillo and El Yunque

Taking advice from the locals is always the best way to go. We hear about a nice beach near the rainforest and decide to hit it before going to the forest. It turns out to be a lovely little beach and the best on the north side of the island for swimming that we have found. After that we head into “El Yunque“, the only rainforest on American soil. We took a wonderful stroll through the forest, stopped at a waterfall where Josh braved the icy cold to swim for a few minutes, and then continued on the surprisingly long path to its endpoint. We then took the paved road back to our car, and as we were walking it, a huge downpour erupted. We were soaked through and through by the time we got back to the car, just in time for the rain to stop completely (isnt is always the way?). Although not on the same day, we later stop on the road near Luquillo at a line of famous food stalls for some of the most delicious stuff we have had in Puerto Rico. My favorite was the arepa con camarones and a kind of sweet plantain stuffed with beef. Yum.

I  keep seeing this Kabbalah Kar all around the neighborhood. What could it all mean?

Is Madge inside?

Last night and Gonzalo and I stopped by a party in a beautiful apartment on the 14th floor of a building in The Village. From there we had a spectacular view of the Halloween Parade (and rainy chaos) taking place below.

I love a parade

I just love this part of the MOMA building. It is both modern and retro at the same time.

Hazy shade of winter

It is cold and rainy out. Any semblance of summer just up and evaporated last week, and we are straight into late November weather, despite this being October. I totally gave up the ghost and brought in the AC unit from my window and stored it in the closet. And, after discovering to my delight that my window was the fold-in kind (and subsequently cleaning it), I now have a much more lovely and unimpeded view of the outside.

Now, I suppose (after cleaning my apartment, going to the gym, meditating, and writing this blog post) I am out of excuses and should stop procrastinating and get down to some of the work I have to do. The only tough part is figuring out which client is likely to pay me the fastest and therefore which project to tackle first. Hm…
