RINCON Y MÁS ALLÁ

Some of the best things about where we live...are the beaches!

If you are beach lovers like we are, you will love it here!! Not only are there a number of different beaches just steps from our home, but even more within minutes and for sure under an hour! All very different, extremely beautiful, picturesque, and well worth the walk or the drive!

Here's a must see must do list...

1-Pools beach across the street from us

2-Sandy beach down the block a bit

3-Casa Islena beach a 4 minute walk from our house - still part of Sandy Beach

4-Playa Maria 3 minute drive - excellent for surfing or watching and wicked sunsets!

5-Aguada balineiro beaches a 5 minute drive from our house (where the fam is from)

6-Corcega & Stella beaches also a 5 minute drive from our house - no waves

7-Anasco beaches also no waves 10 minute drive from our house - also no waves

8-Playa Crashboat huge beach close to the airport - fun beach with banana rides, jet ski rentals, etc

9-Jobos beach Isabella (anthony bourdain stop off for all you foodies! - "DAME LA VACA!")

10-Boqueron balineiro great beach now waves and town like a PR Key West about 45 minutes from us depending on traffic

...so when are you coming to experience it all for yourselves...?

CHARLIES CHEAPIES

Here's a secret, for any and all of you planning to visit us in Puerto Rico.  

CHARLIES RENTAL CARS...just off site at BQN these guys are the BEST.  They pick you up upon arrival in and you never have to wait!!  They have the best rates (even during holiday weeks) great super quick service, brand new cars, and did I say GGGGreat prices?  You can even book it online!  Paula and Pat, our 1st guests, (used them during easter week) and after checking around we found CHARLIES to be about 1/4 the price of the other big name on site rental car companies.  We love CHARLIES! 

KITCHEN ALMOST DONE!!

So here it is sooo far...this is a night foto, and as you can tell the dishwasher (the most important part, since Sean has retired!) has yet to be installed!!

MOTHERS WEEK IN PR!!

Even though the house isn't and wasn't totally finished last week, mom was here and not only a huge huge help, but a super trooper! It was hot, rainy, muddy, dirty, but definitely fun! We sweated, cleaned, ate, drank, laughed, and I think ate some more! Mothers day I took her on an excursion to the top of the TIPPY TOP of the mountain to have breakfast at one of the best breakfast places around. She took the trip up "white knuckled", "aye yi yi-ing" and "braking" the whole time! It was a definite adventure for her I'm sure, if she had known, would have decided not to take, but in the end the fresh baked breads superior food and the endless views made it soooooo worth while!!

We even had a real puerto rican bar-b-cue at a local "balineiro" sans arroz con guandules but of course with plenty of music and rum!!

And yes thats mom in the picture all cozy with the man next to her!! (lol jk mom) Um, and they aren't waving they are telling me they need more drinks...

I was bartender that day!!

Pictures are worth a thousand words!!
