Veiques Puerto Rico trip

Happy Holidays everyone. Jane and I just got back from the island of Veiques where we stayed with friends for a week. Our friends are building a home there so we will have another island get away lined up. While there we had dinner with other mutual friends from Vermont who either live there full time or also own a home on the island. What a fabulous place. The island is loaded with free range wild horses. You see them every where. The beaches are pristine and uncluttered. If you see more than four other people on the same beach it is considered crowded. The snorkeling was awesome as well. We saw mongoose and many large iguanas. The sunsets were surreal and we were there for the full moon and it to was beautiful. We stayed at a home on a hill with a five minute walk to a private beach and magnificent views of the islands of Culebra,St, Thomas and Puerto Rico.I picked coconuts and we drank the milk and ate the fruit. We ate carribean lobster and conch straight from the fishing boats. Next week we are going to South Carolina for our nephews graduation from OCS Marines. He will be recieving his commision. We are very proud of him. It was also fun to fly on the little puddle jumpers back and forth to the main island or you can take the ferry. We wish you all a very happy and prosperous New Year. Until later Peace Don
