Viviendo el sueno en Puerto Rico

Silliness on the airplane with Sar and Suz

Rain forest hiking through a landslide

At our bed and breakfast with the rain forest oh so close

When in Puerto Rico do as the locals do...except for the naked part :)

Sarah's translation: terminal cafeteria
Melissa's translation: road ends
Yes, Melissa's is correct

Viewing the rain forest from our room

Scripture study. We felt like we were transported to the Book of Mormon.

Meliss got this of me laughing...so true to life

Sarah captured this laugh

Hooray for hiking

I don't know what they are doing, those weirdos.

Playing with big leaves. Sarah couldn't handle it.

hiking through the landslide yet again

The only picture I got of all of us.

What a jungle.
Just giving you a hip shake to please the eye...

The waterfall


We got to throw our tissue in the trash can and not the toilet. Just thought I'd give you that detail.

Hammocks. One of the best parts of the trip.

Casa Cubuy...our little bed and breakfast enveloped in the rain forest

Here's another view...gorgeous.

We saw this fresh hot fries vending machine. Had to capture it.

Our second place to stay: La Casa Alta Vista...a little more ghetto.

Our first room. Ghettolicious.
Our second place that Melissa bargained for...complete with a living room, kitchen, and two bedrooms. Awesome.

Vieques Island off of Puerto Rico. Gorgeous and gorgeous.

Getting ready to beach it up. Pre-sunburn.

In the water.
The only picture you'll see of me in a swimsuit.

Clear, warm, water
Palm trees.

Dinner

The strawberry daiquiri is sticking up her nose...k, not really.

There are a lot of pictures of me like this.

The fish that Meliss got. She wasn't too happy; neither was her tummy. :(

So Puerto Rico.
This is what we did.
On our way to snorkel in Din Din's ghetto car

Me and Din Din...he became our good friend while in Vieques.

Our PR friend, Javier, after taking us kayaking in the Bioluminescent Bay. He had a crush on Meliss :)
There's Din Din with his hijas...that's what he called us. Oh and he invited me to salsa with him but I declined the offer.

Before getting on the ferry back to PR

Snazzy Sarah.

Buying hammocks near San Juan. Meliss used her Spanish skills often.

San Juan
Cheers.



The houses were so cool...and the signs.

The Old Fort.





PR=muy divertido.

That's the extent of my Spanish skills.
