On my tourist for a day I went to "Islote", it's a beach in "Arecibo", that's usually for locals and there aren't really tourist on that area.

(2 Horowitz) When I read this specific line of Amateur Eyes by Alexandra Horowitz, it struck me because it’s so true. Every moment at least now this days, people se...
