Spanish speakers just aint into whitey ... from what I see, so maybe the non-Spanish Caribbeans are worth a look. Remind myself that not all black girls are not "African-Maricans" ... some are outside that culture.
We did the short White Sands loop hike, but during the month of April, and I carried an umbrella to guard against the heat reflecting off the sand — it was unpleasant even in that month without protection. Walking it in the Summer is insane. RIP.
