Day 6 Rincon

Today we decided to drive the northwest coastline. We didn’t see much of anything until we got above Aguadilla where there were beautiful beaches all the way to Isabella. The coast is fairly rugged with frequent rock outcroppings. It’s remarkable that no matter where you go you can find an isolated beach that you can have to yourself…at least during the week. After passing through Isabella, we decided to drive up the mountains to San Sebastian which is a great drive if you’re the passenger. It’s not so great for the driver nor is it for the driver/passenger relationship. On the way back we stopped at a roadside place and had some terrific empanadas. We got back to the Lazy Parrot by late afternoon and just stayed put. We spent the rest of the day chatting with a few of the Rum Shack patrons, all of whom had been coming to the Rincon area for at least the past few years. It seems as though people just keep coming back and a lot never leave. I can understand why. Anyhow, we split an order of fish tacos for dinner and listened to surfing stories. It was an uneventful day…very pleasant.
