I decided to minimize San Juan traffic and headed out very early (I'm up anyway!) for the two and 1/2 hour drive from Las Marías.

The garden opened at 6 am which was perfect. I was the only non employee I saw. Nothing super rare ( that I could ID anyway but still some very nice fora and fauna (endemic green PR parrots).

A very friendly storekeeper who helped me practice my Español and gave me map. All free except the dollar cup of sorely needed café.

Lovely. Did you actually see the native parrot? As a kid in three 1980s, I had a fascination with the Puerto Rican parrot. They were almost extinct back then. Perhaps they're more common now.

Yes I did see three fly over my head! Close enough to see their green color but no way to get a photo. I heard others in the trees but couldn't see them in the foliage.

I heard from a recent visitor that they are regularly at Lagos dos bocas but when I visited last week I didn't see or hear any.
