I went to Rincon with a few friends, a town in Puerto Rico, with the mentality of being a foreigner or a tourist. Amazingly that part of the island, which I have never been to, is so beautiful. Unlike the metropolitan area, it's very open and natural, it doesn't have so many buildings and that I personally like. I basically was a inside tourist but at times I acted like I was from the United States.
At the beginning we were acting as if we were from American and we came to se a surf contest. The receptionist was incredibly nervous everytime we were going to talk to her because she didn't spoke English. To the point that one time I went to ask for towels and she went away! So we did this on everyone we talk to and they only laughed and tried to talk back but you could feel they really wanted to help.
At the beach and at night it was different. We encountered a lot of outside tourist. They were different from the locals, they were more friendly but asked to much. They could notice we were locals but the locals couldn't figure out we were really puertorrican. Overall it was a fun experience and a good way to make people treat you more friendly and less hostile.
I have been in Rincon before and it is beautiful. However, I have never been in a surfing contest before. I would like to be in one some day. You looked as you had a lot of fun. You did a good reflection. Excellent job!
