PR: Day 4 - Food, friendly conversation, and the pool

We used Yelp to find another good place to eat not far from our AirBnB.  El Timon was a tiny place

with amazing food!  LouAnna got another turkey sandwich (and a coffee - duh!) and Chris got the Roasted Pork & Smoked Ham sandwich (toasted) with lettuce, tomato, mustard, and pickles.  It was delicious!  We noticed that Pepsi is the drink of choice at the restaurants we've been to so far.  The only Coke we've seen is at grocery stores.  We also ordered a Tornilla, which is like a puffed pastry cream roll except it was filled with something very close to vanilla pudding and this one was topped with caramel that was sticky and crunchy.  Sweet!  See the picture below.  The dive was playing 80's music and there were a few people speaking Spanish and one guy guessed the singer as Debbie Gibson.  LouAnna knew it wasn't Debbie and spoke up.  Turned out that guy (and his son who was about 8yo) were super friendly and LouAnna and they talked (in English) the rest of our time at the restaurant (after introductions, of course) about music, the island, a few differences between the mainland and PR.  

Then we ran to Walgreens because Chris has lost his pair of sunglasses sometime yesterday and couldn't be at the beach for the rest of the week without some.

When we got back to our place, we changed into our swimming suits, grabbed our dirty laundry, put it in the washer which was on the ground level of the apartment complex, and hit the pool.  Not before LouAnna struck up a conversation with the other couple in the elevator that were on their way to the beach.  She and they talked about Luquillo and other beaches in the area.  She's so open and friendly and people can just tell!  It was a great day for the pool and though the water was cool at first, we both jumped right in and it was amazing within moments!  There were probably only about 20 people in the pool area in a pool that was about twice the size of most hotel pools we've been to in the states.  We laid out soaking up some more Vitamin D, cooled off in the pool, and finished up the laundry.  Showered, made dinner, watched the sunset, watched a little TV, and called it a night.  Such a chill day.  We LOVE island life.  We are already talking about when we can come back!
