puerto rico: all good things must come to an end

alas, the long weekend was over and it was time to head back home.

however, we had to have breakfast first. not far from our hotel was a diner and bakery called, la bombonera, that has been around for at least a hundred years. they served typical breakfast fare but i was there for the mallorcas.

a mallorca is basically a breakfast sandwich - i had the eggs, ham and cheese while az had he bacon and cheese - with powdered sugar sprinkled on top. who knew that sugar would work with savory food? but then again, i had to remind myself of that other favorite of mine: chicken and waffles.

because the above food was not enough (or rather, our eyes were bigger than our stomach), we also tried the below meat pie (more like pastry dough stuffed with ground beef). although it was good, the star of the show was the mallorca.

beware, la bombonera gets crowded fast. but if you get there at 7:30 am (when they open) or by 8 am, you should easily find a table.

after a heavy breakfast, we were off to the airport to head back home.

my last view of puerto rico

the puerto rico infomercials i watched in the wee hours of the night a few years back were spot on. i thoroughly enjoyed my visit. i only wished i had more time to enjoy the other parts of puerto rico.
