Day 10 Patillas to Fajardo

Late last night a family of four arrived from Texas and they had a teenage daughter that fell in love with the little dog. They were planning on staying at the hotel for several days and we were sure they would become attached to the little pain in the ass. This morning we took a last walk on the beach with the dog, and as we were checking out we saw the dog and the girl playing in the sand. I know that family is going to have trouble telling their daughter that she couldn’t take that cute little dog home. We left Patillias with a much better than expected feeling about that dog. In fact, it was a good feeling.

We drove up the coast to Fajardo heading for the Fajardo Inn, but before checking in, we stopped for lunch at a fish shack at a marina in Las Croabas and had more fish, octopus, lobster, and mofongo. The Fajardo Inn is a medium sized resort hotel…just the kind of place that I don’t enjoy. The reason we’re here is to go to the El Yunque National Rain Forest so I suppose I can deal with this place for a few days. There’s not much to do or see in the area so we hung out at the hotel and enjoyed the pool. At night we sat at the rooftop bar and took in the ocean view.
