Today we took a break from our busy touring to spend some time relaxing at the beach. The beach out our hotel isn't great, but we were able to identify a good beach on the northern coast of Puerto Rico that was good for swimming (this is a bit rare on this coast: too rocky) and that wasn't too far away (Carlos said he's getting tired of driving). We ended up at Cerro Gordo beach, and it was a great place to spend the afternoon. We swam and lounged. The water was the perfect temperature, and the beach wasn't too rocky. Lots of people were out (many of the local kids are on spring break), but it didn't feel overcrowded. Carlos saw some parrots. Mike and Lisa ate some street-vendor food.
On the way back to Dorado, we stopped by an open-air sport bar for some sangria and mofongo. It's tough to imagine life without mofongo at this point, so I'll have to figure out how to make it. The sangria was bright green and very different. It had kiwi, grapefruit, lime, and wine. Tart, but good.
Tonight we'll just spend some time relaxing at the hotel, maybe take a late night swim. Tomorrow - our last full day in Puerto Rico - will likely be a full day.
