morning of snorkeling, we got out of the water freshly sunburnt to visit the Museo de Arte de Ponce. This was a really cool experience because you got to learn a little bit of Puerto Rican history, and you also got to see how their artwork compared to other pieces.

They immediately surrounded the sentry posted there, and with clubs and other weapons threatened to execute their vengeance on him. I was soon informed by a townsman their intention was to carry off the soldier from his post and murder him.
