Tinker Belle's Hot Tub

I am going to work backwards tonight. I just can't start anywhere other than the most amazing spectacle I just witnessed.

The BioBay in Vieques PR (more specifically just outside Esperanza) cannot readily be described.  It is a bay with the highest concentration of biolumiensence in the world. These tine critters emit light in a complicated process - when they are disturbed.  You should see the rain.

The water glows, but it doesn't just glow. And it only glows when disturbed.  It also sparkles and flashed when a school of fish scatter as the boat disrupts a night time feeding. It was too dark to capture on film - but put this on your bucket list. It is the northern lights IN a lake.


The boat to bio-bay

But I had to travel, by car, the boat, then taxi, then foot just to get to the bio bay.  Here is that journey... And before you envision some remote back woods shack - I watched most of the Broncos home opener on satellite TV and texted Marci.  Technology...

Ferry Boats

Puerto Ricans LOVE their meat. These are both roadside stands.

And people.  I met this couple at the Ferry terminal heading to Vieques. We got to chatting, and ended up on the same tour of the bio bay.  They are very cute and were so fun to talk to. Their marriage was "arranged" four years ago - and they are happy as can be.  They made me want to go to INDIA so bad!
