Vieques is a small island located east of Puerto Rico. The island was rich with sugar mill plantations prior to the 1940s when the US Navy bought it and turned it into a bombing and training island. The resident population was moved to the central part of the island. Military Operations ceased in the early 2000s and a large portion of the island was turned into a nature preserve.
The first night we arrived on the island, we went to Al’s
Azul Mar Bar. There we ran into a welcoming host of transplanted individuals
and locals, who were more than willing to provide insight into the must dos of
the island. They also had amazingly talented karaoke singers. As
our five days past, I must say their must see and do list was spot on.
The island was warm welcoming and spectacular, just like the bar. On the
last day we were there, I stopped by to drop off a magnet to the owner Dan, who
posed for a picture.
