This left us ready to leave bright and (very) early the next morning and so I said good bye to Ben welcomed Peter and Seva and put bright lights on Suzanne as she was leaving the house and we made our way to section 307 of the parking lot at Newark where we grabbed our bags cleared security and got into the coffee line at Dunkin Donuts where we ran into Hal Stern. Once airborne, this was my lunch since I had given my elegant upgraded business class seat to Suzanne. Next thing we knew, we were there and at the airport making our way to a taxi and from there on to Fajardo where we saw the lines for the ferries as we waited with baggage and then pulled our bags to the obligatory phone booth picture before grabbing lunch at our favorite Fajardo restaurant where the diet coke and grilled cheese left Suzanne in the dark but enlightened Seva and Peter and me.

Next we made our way past the parked boats and noted that our favorite Fajardo restaurant was for sale before settling onto the ferry ad making our way past the ships out to sea which involved a few changes of location on the ship to find seats that satisfied us and gave good views as Peter did his ancient mariner imitation and we eventually saw bodies of land which calmed the seas a bit but led to discussions about which of these land masses would hold the entryway to the harbor at Dewey

until we saw the harbor saw the welcoming signs and got off the ship to see Raquel who took us to Jerry's jeeps where among the roosters Jerry led us through the routine of the car rental, the island, his life story, ... in an amazing monologue that he must share with everyone.

Having been enlightened about every turn in every road, every bump, every tree, every native, ... we were well prepared to follow Raquel to the house we were renting above Zoni Beach and so after an amazingly uneventful ride, given the warnings, we arrived at our villa
