Boqueron, PR

We need to catch up on our blogging....so much has happened in the last week. We are looking for internet access so we can post pictures we have been promising, Luperon, Puerto Plata, etc. We haven't forgotten....

Well, here we are in Boqueron...sort of Key West, Latin style. This is a beach community/hangout for southwestern PR on weekends. It is wall to wall bars, restaurants and food carts; and did I mention bars ? One of our cruising guides describes it as follows: "If you never did sophomore year in college, or you did, and you miss it, you'll love Boqueron" ! T and I had to leave one bar during happy hour ($1 beers) because the music was too loud....and this is after 2 weeks in Luperon where the speakers are bigger than BMW Mini-Coopers !! We thought the music was loud in Luperon...WRONG...Boqueron wins. We intentionally anchored nearly a mile off of town so there is a possibility of getting some sleep....at 2 AM the local are just getting started ! We got a sample last nite, and were told this morning, that was nothing....wait for the weekend !! OK, we are ready (I think).

So, we are going exploring today, and look forward to sampling the local foods....tacos, empanadas, quesadillas, and carrucho (conch salad)...and a bunch more goodies which I don't know what they are as the signs are all in Spanish....but our Spanish is getting better by the day....the word for all of you today is "Mojito" (Moe-HE-toe). We practiced saying it a lot last night....(You won't find mojito in Rosetta Stone, so, you will have to stick with Persephone to learning essential cruising Spanish !)

Adios, EL TRIPULANTRES (THE CREW)
