Day Two

Geo: 18.123, -65.4163

Pictures from the second full day on Vieques. The morning walk took us by Sea Glass Beach, right near downtown Isabel II. No sea glass to be found. Then along the coast where we passed a neat cemetery. Later David, Sonja, Anne, and I drove to the western end of the island and toured through the old navy base where the main thing to see is the old bunkers where they stored ammo. The rest of the old base is just a jungle with a few narrow roads running through it. At the extreme western end is Green beach where three of us did a bit of snorkeling. LeeAnne, Bob, and Maggie drove to Blue Beach in the Camp Garcia area that she and I had seen the day before and did a bit of swimming & snorkeling.

Cemetery
We saw this ocean-side cemetery on our walk. Because of the proximity to the water, all the graves were above ground.

Sea Glass Beach
Walked to this beach in hopes of finding some pretty sea glass, but the place had been picked over, leaving only a piece or two.

Bunkers
On the western end of the island the Navy had a large base where ammunition as well as other supplies were stored. The navy left in the late 90's and today the area is extremely grown up but narrow roads lead through the ruins of the old base. This is a picture of one of the bunkers where ammo was stored.

The abandoned Navy Base
This is an example of the very narrow and overgrown roads through the old navy base area. Here we followed Yogi Berra's advice - "when you come to a fork in the road, take it". We did.

Iguana
Saw this guy when we drove to the bunkers on the western end of the island.

Punta Arenas or Green Beach
A very small beach but also very private on the western end of the island.

Along Green Beach
Lee, David, and Sonja did a little snorkeling here.

Maggie and Bob
Taken by LeeAnne - Not sure but I think this was taken while the three Vialls went to a beach while the rest of us went to the old navy base.

Maggie and LeeAnne
Another taken by LeeAnne - Not sure but I think this was taken while the three Vialls went to a beach while the rest of us went to the old navy base.

Maggie in the pool
Taken by LeeAnne with her new underwater camera. Have a few others that she took of fish, etc. posted on anther day.

Roof View
We enjoyed sitting on the roof-top terrace and looking out over the trees to the ocean.

Coqui Fire Restaurant
This Mexican restaurant came highly recommended. We had to eat very early in order to get a reservation for our group. The special sauces had heat levels called "sweat factors" and ranged from 1
(mild) to 15 (really hot).
