Woke up to rain but we still decided to head out to the horseshoe beach Mar Chiquita in Manati. We hoped that the rain would subside but it did not. We had a rough time finding our way to the freeway since the signage is horrible. Be cautious of this. We even accidentally went down a one way street! Once we got on the freeway (Highway 2) we discovered that although it is a tollway, the freeways have large potholes in it! How crazy is that? Once we finally found Mar Chiquita, it was beautiful! It is a little cove surrounded by eolanite rocks (limestone) and that day it had some serious waves due to the rain. They have kiosks that serve food that is open on the weekends. Unfortunately, we were not able to swim there, since it started raining again. We did get to see it, take pictures and videos, so we were happy.

Later we decided to go to Kasalta, a bakery/sandwich shop in which President Obama ate at in 2011.
