Some days just require a beverage at lunch. I was looking around town today, doing errands, and stopped by the Villa Cofresi... and its popular beach side Tiki bar. There were plenty of people in the water... it was like a pool and plenty of people were relaxing on this long weekend.

Oh... that's right, what do I mean long weekend? Monday here is the commemoration of the birthday of Eugenio MarĂ­a de Hostos. Hostos was a fiery revolutionary who advocated the independence of Puerto Rico from Spain and then a Confederation with Cuba and the Domincan Republic. He died 5 years after the United States acquired Puerto Rico from Spain. He is a national hero. You can check out some particulars here.

The hand with the bottle... not mine... honest. Just saw the frame and took the shot.
