BY THE BEACH IN VEGA BAJA CITY

YESTERDAY, was one of those rare days I decided to spend time sitting in a vehicle to travel to the city in the tittle, maybe 45 minutes back and forth.  I declare my dislike of those, any resort close by the beach/ocean, thanks to the dull architectural designs, the destruction of environment and habitat for our flora and fauna.

Ocean side botanical inventory is very small, I did not see one bird.
Only one crustacean was hanging around in the frontier space between sand and water in this area of the Atlantic.

The north side of any metro zone by the Atlantic has been  essentially destroyed in Puerto Rico.  The landscape of these resorts has plenty of turf, palms and silly hedges, having destroyed in the process the small variety there was to begin with.  There is some quiet, nice scenes and breeze, lacking the annoying crowds with hollering children or boom boxes playing shitty regueton/hip hop.

The flora barely reaches ten or twelve species of endemic or native plants, the rest is bare sand, rocks and stone.  Some dead coral species brought to the sand were noticed.

The worst, in this mostly fun trip, is the concrete ugly square monster in restoration, in which the owner thought his duty/right
to destroy the vegetation to the right of his property as the photos show. It is an epidemic.  The will to destroy without any possible explanation in every cardinal point of Puerto Ric is use and custom.

In essence, traveling with a critical eye is never totally a joy, just partially if you stretch a lot the available aesthetics and the perception of what is endemic/native or exotic among the educated people with college diplomas and the others, the loud majority.

that is that
