Well, an icecream truck spotted us and quickly drove over the grass to reach us!!

Remember the experience from last year in El Combate beach? This time too, in the trees in the beach, I could hear the same noise. I told Sharmila to see if she can spot parrots. I did not have my big camera this time to zoom in.

We did spot one. Can you find it?

After about five minutes, some half a dozen of them flew by us!

Very secluded. In the whole beach spanning a mile, there were only three other parties. Lots of shaded areas to sit on the grass. The wind made it feel really nice and cool.

Between the two of us, we have explored the north east, north west and south west side of the island. Today, we will hit the south east side. The beaches are less crowded there. First we have to cross the mountains. The drive thru the mountains is very pretty.

We were off to Laguna Grande in Fajardo to see bioluminescence!

Interesting phenomenon with the cocount tree. It has brown, yellow and green leaves. If you notice carefully, it is greenest on the top and most brown in the bottom. The tree, as it grows taller, dumps the leaves that are on the bottom!!

This is the second beach we went to today. Mar Chiquita Beach. There is a tidal pool here. But the waves crashing in thru the gap come with so much power and volume that nobody is allowed to get into the pool!

You can stand there mesmerized for hours by the power and scale of fury of the waves.

Last night, we had asked Alejandro who was helping us at the bar for some tips on beaches. This was the first one he suggested – Playa Puerto Nuevo.

One side of the beach has some huge rocks. See the first picture. The lowest point is probably 40-60 feet high.

Now see the eye-popping large wave come and crash on it from behind. And in its wake, leave a lot of small waterfalls on the rock.

I have never seen anything like this. The videos are jaw dropping!
