El Yunque Rain Forest - (pronounced "joon' keh") beautiful but reminded us how fortunate we are to live on the west coast where we see stuff as spectacular just hours from our door.

Diary

Day 6 - Sunday Check out and bus to airport to pick up rental car. First stop: El Yunque Rain Forest. Saw some lovely flora, many locals (it was the weekend) picnicking and swimming. Then, we drive to Fajardo and the El Conquistador Resort (where Goldfinger was filmed). Cab to ferry dock - pay our $2 each to get on 1.5 hour ferry ride to Vieques. Walk to guesthouse (2 blocks). Head down the street to recommended bar for grub. Find out no food tonight as the cook is in jail. Eat in restaurant where owner/server seems way to tired of life to be bothered with making our stay pleasant, but food is great. Back to guesthouse to chat with our hosts: let them know about cook, which, we find out later, turns out to be their friend who got busted for possession of cocaine.
