Surfing Playa de Jobos

Ok, I know I promised wipeout photos from Doug’s surfing lesson but it’s not my fault.  Doug decided to go off script and stand up on his first 2 waves!  Of course he failed to tell me his plan, so I was on the other side of the beach causing the pictures to be pretty grainy.

Once he got tired of being of being a surf expert, Doug did provide a decent amount of comic relief.  More than once, his board shot straight up into the air a good 5 feet after excellently choreographed swan dives.  Unfortunately I was too busy working on my sunburn at the time to take any pictures.  After several hours at the beach, we were pleasantly red and dehydrated, so we decided to head back to the house.  It took a few minutes to get the car out of the parking lot, since a new friend was enjoying the shade.

The next day, we climbed up Cerro de Punta, the tallest point in Puerto Rico.  It was only a 30 minute walk from the parking lot, but the 20% inclines and the 90 degree day made sure we were dripping by the time we got to the top.  The views were worth it!

 

Tomorrow we are going "kayaking" (sit on top) at the Bio Bay with glowing algae!
