  • On this day we visit La Parguera in Lajas, Puerto Rico. This place is also known for its bioluminescent bay. Unfortunately, we didn't visit the bay at night, but hope to in the future. You can rent a boat here to take you to one of the other small islands.

    Ovi I did go there many years ago. It was night time. i was so scared I refused to put my hand in the water. Just took the boat ride and prayed that there was nothing that would harm me in there. I was young and foolish. Now i'm old and foolish. i am glad that you always have a good time. Thanks again my friend. " Fluorescent Bay" recomendado para los gringos.

      Piri, next time I will have to visit the Flourescent Bay, which I have heard so much about over the years. No worries about being foolish, at least you had a great time I'm sure. Lol

    The bioluminescent boat ride there is so much fun. I went when I was pregnant with the family. Also..I had a major craving for caldo de gallina...jaja I remember we couldn't find it..except for one Kiosko. I will never forget how nice those people were to me♡

    This was an amazing video OVI thanks for sharing. This is one of my favorite places and since you said that you're going back I highly recommend a boat tour and nighttime so you can see and experience the luminescent bay or you can take a cruise on one of those big boats with a glass bottom or acrylic bottom so you can see all the fish an underwater views which are beautiful. They have some little boats that will give you a tour at night time I took my whole family out on one of those and in the middle of the Bay late at night they asked if anybody in the boat wanted to jump in the water and before he finished his sentence I was already in it felt awesome not knowing what was around me and swimming in the dark. If you get a chance to go back try empanadillas de chapin👌🤤.

Scared the hell out of us when they took off. but once we were out there we were able to touch the water and swim in it if we wanted to. The second time was on a glass bottom boat and the experience was not as good as the first time. Much better to be closer to the water and touch it. I heard that the bio-bays were getting their glow back, not sure if thats true. I've heard about the one in Fajardo, but the only way out there is by kayak, i dont want to have to do any rowing, so i dont have any interest in that one.

    Stayed there once and visited about 3 times. The last time 2 weeks before Maria we stayed at La Jamaca hotel. The area around the Plaza got better they built that building you were in taking shots maybe 2 1/2 yrs ago. There's a great Pork restaurant near the Sabana grande exit off of route 2. Love the posts and love PR! Went there almost by accident 12 yrs ago. I was supposed to go to Fl but the weather was cold there and was able to switch to PR and have been going every year since. My good friend lives in Humacao. He was born there moved to the states for 40 yrs and went back after he retired.

      I recommend Moca, San Sebastian, Aguada, Isabela, Aguadilla, Rincon, or other any town in the west side of PR.
      I personally love to live in urbanizaciones, where houses recieve almost 0 to no damage during & after hurricanes, where neighbors are closed to each other. Urbs are very family/kid friendly places to live, they are usually peaceful & most have their own basketball courts, baseball field, kids playground and building to celebrate events like birthdays, etc. & more. Neighbors usually make house birthdays or neighborhood parties and it's a lot of fun. In mine, some neighbors used to take out a huge plasma tv outside for everyone to see, everytime there was a huge boxing fight (especially from Tito, Cotto, etc) or just do a street party for all the neighbors or bring a parranda from las mascaras tradition, where lots of big trucks would come to the urb. (usually at 11pm/12am or later) and stop in the middle of the street with music, dancing, food and more, those were things I enjoyed so much as a kid. Lol I got so nostalgic.

Are you talking about areas like that? Please share Where there was "No Damage after Maria?" That would be a place I am definitely interested! While we were outside of Rincon we pretty much encountered no English speaking peolpe.. Sure was a difficult situation due to the fact that...
