Free day in La Parguera

We knew we had the opportunity to enjoy a leisure morning, but our bodies are not accustomed to sleeping in, so we were still awake before 6:00.  Tim brought in fresh brewed coffee from the lobby; Draco Rosa brand. It is 100% Puerto Rican organic grown brand founded by singer-songwriter Draco Rosa in collaboration with local farmers. They also use the sun to naturally roast the beans. It was a delicious cup of coffee. 

The complementary breakfast was on a nice shady patio, adjacent to the poolside. 

11:11 shot of the day… walking by a school. The black wall has outlines for a future mural. 

We noticed many home in both the rural and city areas that have wrought iron on the porches, top and bottom.  We wondered if it is for  style, safety or security.  

AI reveals:The wrought provide robust protection against hurricane debris, offered durable security, and allow for maximum ventilation in the tropical climate. These structures are often custom designed to add aesthetic character to homes. 

We decided to find a place to grab a lunch… this place seemed perfect … 8 taps and beer tiles throughout.  Shockingly, they had no beers available on tap!  At least they had a decent selection of bottled beers 😆. It went well with our shared nacho plate. 

Upon entering town yesterday we noticed an advertisement for sound healing tacked up on a power pole. Today we investigated and booked a session. Enid, a native of Puerto Rico and former social worker in the US, is now a practicing sound healer. We enjoyed an hour on a secluded the beach practicing guided breathing and meditation with sound healing.   It was a little more than a mile walk to find this private location. 

I was astounded how much this small bunch of plantains weighs.  Even Tim struggled to lift it! 

I noticed lots of holes in the earth and immediately thought it must be gophers. Nope, it’s lots of crabs. 🦀 

Heading back to our room after a laidback day in Parguara.
