Last Day in Puerto Rico, Ocean Park Beach and the Airport

We both have early afternoon flights back to the states… and we need to be there early to deal with the dent in the rental car, but their is still time for a little trip to the beach, but not to Pinky’s for breakfast.

A little trouble finding the right exit for the rental car place (got off one exit early), but there was a gas station right there. The guy who checked the car in made two marks on the sheet (well, one small one, and one LARGER one). Got to the check-in counter and the woman looked at the check-in slip, then pulled the check-out slip (which looked like it had the measles with all my nit-picking marks on it), and did up the bill for $96.80 (not bad for 4 days — cheaper than Hawaii) and out the door we went. Need to call the guy who dinged it and tell him that good karma pays off.

Having not had breakfast — I had to get something in my stomach — that turned out to be a quesadilla which was a little greasy, but definately needed. Had tons of time to talk business, and do some duty free shopping.

Duty-free from a US pocession — sounded weird and was limited to cigarettes, and booze that was manufactured in Puerto Rico. Cheaper than at the distillery, but the Grand Reserva ($70) that we got at the distillery is only available at the distillery. The other stuff was a couple of dollars cheaper, and half the cost of what it would be in the states.

Last photo is of what looks like a DC-3 boneyard — only one of the planes appears to actually have propellors. Parts? Restoration? Both?
