Alex, Rod and Beth

After yesterday's low of 65F the thermometer popped into the 90s today. The forecast is looking good but there is minimal swell energy in the water today... a good time to go shopping in Mayagüez and Rincón. We grabbed lunch at the Panaderia Ricomini near Plaza Mayagüez. Large renovation project at the Mayagüez Cathedral and also the theater. We made the mandatory stops at the local surf shops, touched based with a friend at Closeout Surf Shop, and wrapped up with the highlight shopping stop at the Playa Oeste Gallery. The Gallery has a wonderful westward overlook of Tres Palmas and a clear view to Cabo Rojo. We stopped at the Lazy Parrot for drinks and to watch the sunset, feasted on the criolla plate appetizers (excelente homemade amarillos, tostones, sorrullitos) and continued on with a very good dinner. The dining area is a beautiful, open air room with a view to the west... ideal for watching the sun slip between the hill tops and into the ocean. Highly recommended... we finally made it there after ten years. Beth and Alex split a plate of dorado and rice and beans while I had a large bowl of chicken and corn soup. Guess who showed up at the Lazy Parrot -- The Hamptons Girls!.  Earlier, we stopped by to see Jason at The Vista and talk about the upcoming swell. Turns out he is leaving for home tomorrow so he'll miss it. We plan to hook up in the Cape May to Atlantic City stretch of New Jersey.
