I'd like to introduce our Puerto Rican family...
Rory and Arlene Melecio
Leonardito Melecio
Las mofongas con el Capitan Carlos
It all started in the wee hours of the morning with electing Rory as trip advisor for our first full day in PR. Based purely on a whim, he cleverly coaxed Arlene into waking up their good friend Carlos, a brother from Fajardo that is the captain of his very own boat. Startled Carlos' wife answered the phone thinking something was wrong with Rory and Arlene. Carlos very generously agreed to host us on his boat, a retired Coast Guard vessel he runs from the famous Conquistador resort. In true Caribbean fashion, his hospitality included beer, fruit and snorkeling off a reef near Palomita Island. We spend the day defining every sense of the word vacation and of course finding our sea legs.
Security is tight here. Better pay that toll!
