Me likey the sandwiches at El Patio panaderia... $3.50-4.50. Try the Cubano, or the Huevo, Jamon y Queso. MMMMMMM. Tiny cup of cafe con leche is 50 cents, though.

Breakfast and lunch very inexpensive at Culebra Deli, great Puertorrican espresso coffee and sandwich a la plancha. We ate dinner at El Batey Restaurant and Bar, $8 buys you a plate of rice and stewed beans, grilled chicken breasts and salad (lettuce and tomato), $2 extra for tostones. Nice island food and cheap. Although it's a bar, don't let it intimidate you, families eat there. There is also a lady on the main road that has a pink kiosk midway from town, she also serves good food and very cheap. The fruit and veggie guy is also very reasonable and good for buying fruit to take to the beach. Happy travels! J

Hey Matt,

I'm arriving on Thursday too. Are you flying over or taking the ferry? I'm on the Air Flamenco 4:30 flight.

Happy Diving!

Well Debbie,

It looks like we will be meeting on the 4:30 flight! That is as long as our flight from Boston is on time. Then, on to Jerry's for a jeep, our house rental to check in, and then....then...I believe a cocktail will be in order. Work is going to be brutal tomorrow.

I agree this is the best fast food available anywhere. Please be aware that you will need two hands to receive the delicacy. Be prepared to have money in hand prior to getting your treat or while fumbling in your pocket for money while holding the juicy dripping skewer and accompanying slice of bread, it could get seasoned with sand!

Matt,

You'll survive. Just keep thinking about what's around the corner for you. See you at Isla Grande.

Happy Diving!
