I woke up too early this morning and getting a little bored, decided to walk over to this surf spot (which I later found out was called Pine Grove). After walking about 5 miles I found that it was further than previously expected and turned back. Took these pictures while walking.

Usually I take pictures in color then change them to black and white later on. This time I shot in all black and white. Shooting B&W only gave me a sort of vintage feeling. The Beach Chairs shot especially.

• Boulevard park.

• Calle Laurel

• Isla Verdi Water Club

I ended up taking the bus back home.

Dear Tourists and people visiting Puerto Rico. Take notes.

Condado and Isle Verde beaches are good for family’s looking for a nice beach to take the kids if you are staying in the San Juan area. Soft sand, small surf, and both are in a bit of a cove which protect from the constant western wind.

If you are staying in Isle Verde, Ocean Park, or Condado. You are going to want to go to Old San Juan, assuming you don’t have a car you will need to hop on the A-5 which will take you directly to Old San Juan (last stop). If you are staying in Old San Juan you will want to take the A-5 going the opposite way to the beaches. By the way, the busses cost 75 cents and do not take dollars. We found early on that bus maps are hard to come by here.
