It swoops in vertically down, beak first to scoop its prey a couple of feet deep in the water!

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!!
