Man, what a day! I’m tellin’ ya, San Germán is wild. I woke up on my boat, the salty breeze hittin’ my face, thinkin’ it was just another chill day. But nah, life had other plans.
First off, I hit up Calle San Sebastián for breakfast. You know, the spot with the best empanadas? I’m talkin’ crispy, golden goodness. I ordered like five. Yeah, I know, but I’m a sailor, we eat like kings! So I’m munchin’ away, and this pigeon swoops down, tries to steal my last bite. I’m like, “Yo, back off, feathered thief!”
After that, I stroll down to Plaza de San Germán. It’s this beautiful square, all cobblestones and colorful buildings. I swear, it’s like a postcard. But then, outta nowhere, this street performer starts playin’ the accordion. And let me tell ya, he was terrible! Like, I’ve heard better tunes from a rusty anchor. But the crowd loved it. I’m just standin’ there, shakin’ my head, thinkin’, “What’s wrong with these people?”
Then, I decided to check out the old church, the Iglesia de San Germán de Auxerre. It’s got this crazy history, man. Built in the 1600s or somethin’. I walk in, and it’s all quiet, peaceful. I’m feelin’ all spiritual for a sec, then this kid starts screamin’! Like, dude, we’re in a church, chill! I couldn’t help but laugh.
After that, I hit up Calle de la Cruz. There’s this little shop that sells the best coquito. I’m talkin’ creamy coconut goodness that’ll make ya forget your troubles. I grab a cup, and as I’m sippin’, I see this old guy tryin’ to parallel park his truck. It’s a disaster! He’s goin’ back and forth, and I’m just standin’ there, popcorn in hand, watchin’ the show. Finally, he gets out, throws his hands up, and yells, “I’m done!” Classic.
So, I’m feelin’ good, right? I head over to the beach, Playa de Boquerón. The sun’s shinin’, waves crashin’. I’m ready to dive in. But then, I see this group of tourists. They’re all takin’ selfies, and one dude drops his phone in the water. I’m like, “Bro, that’s a goner!” He’s freakin’ out, and I’m just laughin’.
But then, the day takes a turn. I’m walkin’ back, and I see this little kid, maybe six or seven, sittin’ on the curb, lookin’ sad. I go up to him, ask what’s wrong. Turns out, he lost his puppy. My heart just sank. I helped him look around, and after a bit, we found the little guy under a car. The kid’s face lit up like Christmas! I felt like a hero for a sec.
As the sun started settlin’, I made my way back to the boat. I was exhausted but happy. San Germán had thrown me a rollercoaster of a day. I mean, who knew a simple stroll could turn into a wild adventure?
So, I’m sittin’ on my boat, drinkin’ a cold one, thinkin’ about how life’s just full of surprises. San Germán, you crazy place, you got my heart racin’! Can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings.
