LOVE THE SUN!!! YEAH PUERTO RICO

So my wonderful family all chipped in and helped take care of the kids while I went with a friend to PUERTO RICO! It was wonderful to say the least! 6 days relaxing and in the sun. Our hotel was gorgeous and the grounds were totally amazing! I didn't take enough pictures though.
We hiked in the El Yunque rain forest which reminded me a lot of The Ho rain forest in Washington and of Hawaii, unbelievably beautiful.
At the end of the hike was a beautiful waterfall...I wish that it wouldn't have has so many people, I had wanted my swimsuit till I soaked my feet in the ice water ;)We went over to the Culebra Island which had Flamenco Beach, the 2ND most amazing beach I have ever been on (the first was in the Bahamas with my family when I was 16) The whole town was very much like the Bahamas, very laid back.
LOVED Old San Juan!! The buildings were amazing, I loved the architecture and European feel


Yes, I drove the whole time (Maria translated) which was an adventure in itself! An old cemetery
An Old Fort

Thanks again family for the amazing week escape and Maria for going!
