Puerto Rico: Oct 2009: Wind Chimes Inn

image      Our days truly felt idyllic.  The Inn where we stayed felt like a haven.  We never really felt as if we were in the middle of a crowded, bustling city full of tall buildings, because we could sit in the pool or the beautiful courtyard full of lush green palm trees and colorful bougainvillea.  With its white stucco and blue awnings the inn brought to mind pictures I have seen of the Mediterranean. This was truly a relaxing getaway.

     We had daily adventures.  I guess one of our favorite adventures had to be eating.  Where to eat, what eat, and so on and so forth.  We certainly tried a bit of everything.  The inn had a boat-shaped bar in the courtyard where you could order a variety of tasty snacks.  Or one block down the road was a street filled with restaurants of a plethora of ethnicities; Italian, Greek, Mexican, Dominican, French, Cuban, and a few we weren’t able to make it to.  On top of that, we ate at roadside cafes, and one night we even had dessert on the beach.  Of course, we had to try a local favorite called mofongo (fried green plantains).
