Day off, beach and caves

Most amazing day off in Puerto Rico. Brooke’s dad is visiting so they had a rental car and Richard, Jesse and I joined them. We went south to the dry forest and the beach, we drove down a very curvy road thinking it wouldn’t get us anywhere but then we found an amazing beach. After that we had lunch at a roadside stop, lots of little fried things, shrimp and beef empanadas, mufunngo and I think pork stomach soup.

Then on to the most amazing cave, behind a Texico station, as we pulled in we saw a bunch of people walking down a hill so it was obviously up that way. As we walked up the trail we were joined by a tour guide, a dog, she followed us all the way to the caves and deep into them and all the way back out. It was raining heavily by the time we got to the first cave, we climbed down between some tree roots and a few steps and there was a huge open room of the cave. The second cave was spectacular, climbed deep into a cave, past a some smaller rooms and lots of stalactites and stalagmites. We turned the corner and there was a huge window, a giant opening with an amazing view.
