4. These afternoon showers are the perfect excuse for a nap.
5. You can eat lobster, fresh grilled fish and ceviche EVERY night for under $25.
6. You will learn to walk down the streets, avoiding potholes, puddles, bikes and golf carts, and not minding the spray of sand and gravel that dries on the back of your legs.

8. You can scout out the best spots for sunset and watch for the green flash on a nightly basis.
