CleanNo. 15 Our trip to Rincon | For Laurie's birthday we go to the other end of Puerto Rico, the west end, to stay at the Tres Sirenas Ocean Front Inn in Rincon. We had a relaxing weekend, every evening we soaked in the jacuzzi while listening to the crash of the surf on the beach. Every morning we had a gourmet breakfast served to us on the porch in front of our room. Harry & Lisa, the owners, told us all about their Bed and Breakfast and the renovations they went through getting it ready and the Caribean decor. Harry took us on a ride all over Rincon to see the other b&b's in the area as well as restaurants, night life and surf spots. | 9/30/06 | Free | View In iTunes |

CleanNo. 10 Bicycling in Luquillo Corridor | The Luquillo Corridor is an untouched beach, home to many birds and a turtle-breeding haven that is threatened by development. The Sierra Club is helping to organize environmentalists who are interested in protecting this beautiful beach. Laurie and I bicycled there recently. We went in through a gate posted with a "no entry" sign. The dirt road we rode our mountain bikes on was for fisherman's access only. Flooding because of the high seas on the beach that day going over the estuary finally stopped us and we turned back but not before recording this podcast. | 12/31/05 | Free | View In iTunes |

Customer Reviews
Makes my upcoming trip to Puerto Rico spring to life!
I really enjoyed sampling these podcasts on El Yunque and the inn. The mixture of interviews, soundscapes, ideas for adventures and background on the inn is both practical and inspiring. A lovely idea, effectively produced. Subscribing to the podcasts means former guests will continue to be reminded of their experiences. My only complaint is that the podcasts should be mentioned and accessible from all the inn web pages so that you don't have to go hunting for the link.
Great Podcast about Puerto Rico
My wife and I are planning a trip to Puerto Rico this summer and found this podcast to be very helpful. Thank you for taking the time to put these together and enlighten us as to what to expect during our vacation.
Nice To Discover Things With You Two..
I enjoyed Epidode 15 the best. But guys, it's pronounced "Reen-cone", not "Rin-Con". I want you guys to take classes in Spanish, it's so expressive! Laurie- sometimes you sound just like Cher!!! Keep exploring!!!
