The last day in Boqueron, we rented a car and went to Rincon... a beach featuring a couple of 5 star hotels. We parked and pretended to be hotel guests, sipping drinks and reading novels in the lounge chairs on the beach. Then we had the first really really good food we had had in Puerto Rico - jumbo coconut shrimp and scallops washed down with Coronas.
In the early evening, we rushed back, changed and headed to San German for the reception of the couple who married the day before in Ponce. (The bride is from San German... Groom is Spanish). The happy couple is pictured below.
Unfortunately on the way to San German, on a winding, narrow, ill-lit road pocked with potholes, I swerved to the side of the road to avoid an oncoming car and took the passenger-side rearview mirror off when I sideswiped a mac truck parked on the side of the road. What was such a BIG vehicle doing parked at the side of such a tiny road? Anyway, I went to the police station and the only real question they asked was, "Did you kill anyone?" And since I didn't, they didn't even make me return to the site of the accident, but got in their own car and escorted us to the party we were on our way to.
