Next, we drove down to Paseo Tablado La Guancha, a fun little boardwalk good for food and people watching. I tried out an empanadilla snack (think empanada + quesadilla) and chased it with a beer. It was peaceful looking out to the ocean.
I had to be back in San Juan before 5pm so I could pick up my race packet for the next day. My friend surprised me with a stop along the way at Guavate. I love pig roasts! Every time I am on a tropical island I feel obligated to enjoy BBQ. This road, state route 184, winds into the mountainous terrain and about every kilometer you will fine a Lechonera. Not only is the food amazing but there is also lots of live music and good beer.
With a food coma in place, we returned to San Juan. My friend dropped me at my hotel and said fare well. I located the Race registration, got my free shirt and bib, then decided to go for a swim in the lagoon. I have to say, this was a good day!
