Puerto rico....sitting at anchor today next to the Cabo Rojo lighthouse.  It is located on top of 200-foot limestone cliffs overlooking the Caribbean Sea.  It  marks the south-west tip of Puerto Rico. Built in 1881 by the Spanish government, it was renovated in 2007 and painted the original grey and white.

We left Mayaguez on Tuesday the 18th and arrived in Boqueron after a leisurely three hour trip along the western coast.  The town is a party spot for university students and Puerto Rican bohemians.  Weekends are wild but during the week most businesses and restaurants are closed.  So our trip into town was quiet and peaceful.  There is a mile long beach that we walked with Bentley.

By Friday the stores and restaurants were starting to open.  We took two trips in on Friday...one for lunch where we sat in a town square next to a traditional home that had the cutest little windows on the second floor.  Our entertainment was watching two men load 20 pound bags of empy beer cans onto a truck.  this obviously was not the first time this has been done.

Our second trip in was seeking out pinchos which are strips of meat on a stick, grilled and a hunk of bread at the end.  Delicious.  We stopped for a photo op and Bentley decided it was time.  I laughed so hard, but not nearly as hard until I saw the picture.  I had not finished putting on my top over my bathing suit.

My facebook friends have already had a good laugh at this one!!!

We left Bogueron on Saturday hoping to continue our trip along the southern coast of Puerto Rico, but the winds are were strong.  We will just sit tight and wait....we have time.  As we wait we try to do little boat projects, but we have a Bentley problem to figure out.  Some where along our walks, he sat in a wad of gum.

We miss you all and will keeep you posted.  Thanks for following us along our way.
