We have been entertained nearly every day so far. The world is very different from the one we left and we are enjoying the scenes we encounter. From La Placita store just up the street, to the pulpo we found in one of the tide pools at the beach. I wanted to just post a few random pictures we have taken over the last few days.
At La Placita, they sell gasoline and some random useful items in the store. Out front they sell fruits and vegetables that are locally grown.
We went to the 110 Thai restaurant in Aguadilla to check out the local music scene. It was a very interesting mixture. An Oktoberfest concert event held at a Thai food restaurant serving German food that featured bands from all over including the headliner Los Petardos, a Spanish language punk rock band! Talk about a mix of cultures!
These bikes are pretty popular and we see them occasionally wherever we go. They use a weedwacker motor so they are good on gas, are bikes and thus wouldn’t require insurance or Marbete and don’t have to follow all the rules of an actual motorcycle. They get up and go at the speed of traffic thru the city as well.
We also saw this guy on a tripod bike picking up aluminum cans and it made us take a double look:
Then we finally were able to get down to the beach and walk around a bit. We really need to jump in and swim. All the creatures are calling us!

We have some more projects in the works that we will have pictures of soon as we make the cabana more and more comfortable for us to stay in.
What a cool fusion of Thai/German/Hispanico cultures. Fascinating also is the weedwacker bike. Saw people on bikes hauling recyclables like that in China and in S.B., our homeless population occasionally has a gentleman or lady with a haul of belongings like that on and off bike. So in your life transplanet you are seeing how much we really share with the world, and what is endemic to P.R., like the sunsets, critters and plants!
Love your posts and especially your photos.
