Originally, the main purpose of me going to Puerto Rico was to go to Vieques and see the biggest and brightest bioluminescent bay in the world that’s located there. I didn’t do much research on anything else that’s in Vieques besides what you see in the water at night, so you can imagine my surprise when I got to the gorgeous tropical island during...
