“Let’s collect shells as we walk down the beach. Our treasures are many, and all within reach. Sand dollars, scallops, and snails we will find. The starfish we share for it’s one of a kind.” —Lee Nemmers
We started our day with coffee on our patio overlooking the ocean and a full moon that hadn't set yet. The ocean was drastically different this morning than it was yesterday. The surf was up and we watched surfers along the waterfront of Aguadilla all day.
We had planned to take it easy today, but our casual little walk into town turned into a 6 1/2 mile trek from our house on the north end of town to Columbus Park on the south end. In between we enjoyed the view of the ocean, watching surfers and doing a little beach combing. The town's waterfront is very pretty with a wonderful concrete path, called Paseo Real Marina. It runs the length of the town with lots of places to sit and watch the ocean or get something to eat or drink. Unfortunately Monday isn't a very busy day and most of the little food kiosks were closed.
After Hurricane Maria several towns in Puerto Rico wanted to give some of the rundown neighborhoods a face lift. So artists came together with help from the communities to revitalize their area. This area in Aquadilla is called “Amanecer Borincano'' (Borincano Sunrise). Each house looks like a colorful mosaic. You can also find many murals throughout town.
Later in the afternoon we ran to the grocery store and picked up a few things. We enjoy eating out but we also enjoy relaxing at home and fixing something to eat. Our view is amazing from our third floor patio.

We even turned on the fire pit for awhile.
