Puerto Rico at last! First U.S. stop since we left San Diego in November 2008. The waters are calming down and we are noticing the beautiful blue water in the Caribbean that is so different from the Pacific side. 
We had to check back into the country in Ponce. That gave us an opportunity to see its historic section. The Ponce Historical Museum was a doctor's house in the 1800's. It is next to the performing arts center. A guide at the Museum said that Ponce was a place for cultivated, educated and refined people and that is why it is so lovely. He said San Juan was just for people. We just said, "is that so?" We all have our perspective!
A refined Ponce Street.
A family name in Salinas. This is a little fishing village we stayed in while preparing for the much smaller crossing to St. Croix. By the way, we did make it St. Croix and have been visiting Ralph's family since our arrival. We have been seeing the sights, doing some relaxing, and taking care of some things on the boat. You can probably tell by my shorter and shorter entries that I have had enough blogging for today! So, Happy St. Patrick's Day to all!

How exciting. Seems like you are having a good time. The supplies, I am sure were much appreciated in Haiti.

Hi Sandy and Ralph. I've started to follow your blog. I'm green with envy (or was it the green beer?) If you get bored in the sun, think of us in Montana and that will cool you off. I have a blog for the store too. Its at www.swanlaketradingpost.wordpress.com Not quite a catchy as your name but it does the trick. I'm anxious to hear more. Stay safe.

Your wonderful photos brough back memories when we were in Tortola. I too drank the painkiller and brought back the cup. Prussers rum is soooo strong. We also loved the Baths and the snorkeling. Look forward to reading more of your trip.
