Day 3

The main entrance at the hardware store

You can’t believe how hot the sun was again today - 85 degrees and total sunshine.   Both of us tan very easily and again today, we could only stay out on the beach for a couple of hours.

By 1:00 am we were cleaned up and on our way to a neat market towards the center of the city. The market is called La Plaza Del Mercado De Santruce and by day it is a commercial area with the main building being the town’s major fruit and vegetable market. Then at night, the market shuts down and the bars open up with lots of music.

We spent a couple of hours there and I think we found only a couple of people who spoke English. It was fun ordering lunch that then afterwards buying what we would call a fruit smoothie from a stand that we communicated by pointing.


Lunch

Then we walked back to the hotel, rested and then out to a local restaurant.

Next it was the casino where Barb did well and Ed didn’t but we had lots of fun.

Live music in the lounge finished our evening and it was back up to the room to finish packing because tomorrow we board the ship.

Puerto Rico and the Marriott are great places to visit and stay at and we really enjoyed our time here. Our casino host Jose was again very special. The people are really friendly and very hospitable. All in all a great stay.

Tomorrow – the ship!!



After lunch drink of ?
