Day 6 of our trip

On day 6 of our trip we were gently woken up by the crowing of the neighborhood rooster. Someone did not teach this rooster how to crow properly and instead of sounding like a rooster he sounded like a sick cat. He also continued to crow the entire day...guess he wasn't told that he was suppose to only crow in the morning. In addition, he did not like being photographed, so I pursued him all week to finally get this picture of him.



We decided to head for a walk around Esperanza and get the lay of the land. Granted it doesn't take long to walk around the town, but in blazing heat (we decided to do it mid-day) it seems like walking from San Francisco to New York. However, it was well worth it because we got to see this charming little town.

This is a famous rock that is on one of the streets leading down to the ocean.


A local store where you can buy great Puerto Rician rum.


Off of the Malecon you will see the most gorgeous ocean waters.



There are tons of snorkle, scuba diving, and bio-bay tour places around the island.


Along with some very colorful homes and business.



Unfortunately there are lots of buildings for sale and that have been abandoned. But on the bright side, if you want a tropical get away, you should buy now.



There are these trees that are amazingly beautiful around the island. They can be found in red, yellow, and purple varieties.


And if you want some handmade birdhouses, this street vendor on the Malecon will be more than happy to help you out.


And lastly, my lovely husband bought me a stunning bracelet made of beach glass from Kim's Cabin. Say hi to Peter if you stop by. He makes the most unique pieces of jewelry and you can also pick up some great beach clothes for your island stay.
