A Few More From Puerto Rico - 18-22 Feb 08

Another day in Puerto Rico allowed some scenic drives through the hilly areas in the central part of the island, a stop in the city of Ponce along the southern shores and some moonlight kayaking into a bio-luminescent bay in the northeast.As the sun shown brightly on this fountain in the square the hint of a rainbow appeared to bring an unusual bit of color to an every day item.
More brightly shining sun casts its glow behind a lampost outside the cathedral square. Carnival had recently taken place in Ponce and the decorations were still on display.
A full moon brightens the evening sky and casts its reflection across the bay. This was the bay where the kayaking tour started. After paddling across this bay and through a channel amongst the mangrove trees we arrived in the bio-luminescent bay. The brilliant light given off my the micro organisms was amazing. I can only imagine how much more could have been seen on a completely darkened night.
