We have noticed here in Puerto Rico there isn’t much wild life. While walking through a preserve we found in Humacao, we only heard the coqui (a type of frog) and that was about it.

So when I found some tide pools I wasn’t surprised to see little life going on.  The tide pools are about 10 minutes walk from where we live. However we we did see a lot of crabs and a couple sea urchin.  Looks like there used to be some type of pvc pipe connected to it. Maybe to measure the height of the water?

There is a place on the coast of southern California that I remember going to when I was a kid. There was so many little animals and all kinds of sea urchin.  I would give you directions but I can’t remember where it was located.

Right out from this point is where all of the surfers go to surf. There weren’t many out today but last night there were about 20 or so of them out in the water. I have been heading out to body board almost every day (with the exception of today to let my body boarding rash heal a little bit). Ocean Park beach is a popular place to go kite surfing because of the constant eastern wind.  I usually go around 10 am to avoid all of the kite boarders. If you go out past 1 p.m. there are usually around 5 of them in the water at a time, and they will get within 3 to 5 feet of you. You wouldn’t want to get hit in the head with a kite surf board either.
