El Yanque, High Above Puerto Rico
About an hour away from my super comfortable bed at the Marriott is a world unto itself, El Yunque. El Yanque is the only tropical forest in the U.S. National Forest system. The Trails through varying foliage and cascading waterfalls are better than a valium on a 20 hour flight! It is almost enough to make this guy toss the Marlboros and swear off mojitos. A stop at a pool beneath a waterfall is a tropic delight. It put me in a tropic coma needed for quite awhile.
Fortunately a great lunch on Playa Luquillo of fresh grilled red snapper and a cold beer awaited. One must slowly return to reality and on Puerto Rico reality isn’t tough to take! A few waves on the Marriott’s beach then dinner at Tuscany and all is right with the world, at least my place in it!

I find it so amazing that as soon as you venture off beaten path, the fish is always served with its head and tail.
You have yanque,yunque and El Yunque (I think it's the latter) in all of your stories.
