Aricibo Radio Telescope

I squeeed when I found out this observatory was located in Puerto Rico; For some reason I'd thought it was somewhere in South America. I found out from my place mat while waiting on what turned out to be a delicious slab of fried red snapper at a random seafood joint just south of Aguadilla along PR115.

At this point I had little idea what to do the next day (ie New Year's Eve) so it was easy enough to proclaim "I know what I'm doing in the morning!" As an added bonus, the drives to (and especially from) the observatory took me through some very fun roads indeed.

On my way back down to the visitor's parking lot, the little refreshment kiosk had Adele belting out the theme song to Skyfall as I passed. It was almost perfect, but I suppose Tina Turner's out of vogue these days.
