8:30 am: dismal hotel restaurant breakfast-- overpriced and not good!
9:30 am: drove down to Balaneiro Seven Seas Beach. We set up camp in a not yet populated edge. The water was warm and the sun was starting to bear down...perfect! Soon couples, friends and families set up near us. I was weary of the families at first, but everyone was having a great time. As G pointed out, the difference between the Puerto Rican families and the U.S. families is that the PR families don't yell at their children.
noon ? (no watch, so who knows): hit the clam shack for lunch. G discoverd Medalla beer-- only $1.50 per can! We also ordered several fried treats and mofongo.
3:00 pm: felt cooked so left the beach and headed to El Yunque, the rainforst.
4:00-5:30 pm: with only limited time until the gates closed, we just did the rainforest drive through. We took the main road and pulled over to take pictures, but didn't really have time to hike any trails; next time.
6:30: back in Fajardo...we fortuitously found a restaurant, El Estacion, recommended to us by the beach lifeguard. I got the yellowtail and it was great! Also, more pina coladas.
Overstuffed, slightly tipsy and sun fatigued, we called it a night and were asleep by 10 pm.
next up...all aboard! sailing and snorkeling

Hey Andrea,
This is totally random and not related to your blog, but I'm looking for my friend Liz -- your sister I think -- because we lost touch after college and I am getting married and I'm desperately trying to find her so I can invite her to my wedding this fall!! I don't have her current address or phone #, and I tried emailing her a couple times when I was in D.C., and she never wrote back...so I was searching for her online...and it somehow found you. (I actually just joined blogspot oddly enough). Anyway if you can, tell her to email me at amanda.mantone@gmail.com so we can catch up and I can send her an invite to the wedding.
Thanks!!!!
