Abandoned Beach Beauty |
After a month in Sint Maarten, it was time to move on. We took a quick flight 225 miles west, to Puerto Rico. There is essentially no public transportation in Puerto Rico (outside of San Juan), so we rented a car for a day, and followed the beautiful northern coast through very green forested mountains to the northwest, and our next home for the next month, in the seaside town of Isabela. According to Wikipedia, "
It could be said that Isabela is a hybrid town of sorts, with the rarity of being a coastline city that has beaches but is also known for its mountains (with peaks of over 1,000 ft [300 m] above sea level), rivers (surface and submarine), lake, caves (surface and submarine), cliffs, coastal flats and forests (Tropical and Mangroves)."

Walking with new friends |
We, once again, have a great apartment (more on that next time)- and a great apartment manager that helped us return our rental car, and stop at a grocery store to stock up. (Groceries seem so cheap after Sint Maarten!) Then we went for our first exploratory walk. At the end of our street is a path to the beach- which is wild, windy, empty (except for a few kite surfers in the water), and beautiful. A couple of neighborhood dogs accompanied us as we followed the beach into the popular surfing area, and "The Rock".
