Past two days spent in southwest Puerto Rico; the quirky, Peace Corps feeling has passed, though this part of the south still feels totally different from the more touristy, developed north. Blissful days of hiking in the dry forest nature reserve at Guánica, visiting postcard-perfect beaches (Playa Ballena, near Guánica; and Playa Santa, in Cabo Rojo) that are perfectly public but so off the beaten path that they felt private and secluded, exploring lazy seaside towns (three cheers for Boquerón, where even the overwhelming obsession with beer banners is charming), and in general just feeling like the lucky person I am. (Not quite lucky enough to swim with manatees, which is supposedly not outside the realm of possibility in these parts, but nonetheless....)
