Puerto Rico

<


For Micheals spring break and my Birthday we went to Puerto Rico. Friends of ine have a house on the west side of the island in Rincon and let us use it if it is available and this where we stayed.
We really had a Jam packed shcedual, we only stayed 6 days. On the first day we rented boogie boards and headed to the beach all day. The waves were ferocious and we all ended up getting punded on the rocks. I spent the rest of the day on the beach with a book while the boys took there beatings in the ocean. Not a bad way to spend the day I must say. :)
The next day we drove to the rainforest. It was pretty cool, a lot of time in the car, but the veiws were amazing and a completely different kind of vegetation from anything you will see anywhere else on the island. Micheal had never been to a rainforest, so he was very impressed.That was on Sunday, which was also Easter. Somehow the Easter bunny new where we were and left us baskets in the morning. :)
The next day was Monday. We spent the morning on the beach, and then Rick, his brother Doug and I went Scuba diving, while my sister in law Liz and Micheal snorkeled above us. I love Scuba, and always so happy we got certified. We saw lots of beautiful cora as well as the remnants of a old ship. You could see the conans preety well, but everything else had pretty much been reclaimed by the ocean.
On Tuesday. which was my birthday,we started the morning out at at fabulous breakfast spot called the English Rose. The food was great! but the veiws were fantastic! then we went parasailing. We saw the goegeuos coastline and reef from the air as well as stingrays and some sea turtles!!
After that we spent our best day yet on the beach, (the water finaly calmed down so we couldl enjoy it) and the we took a 2 hours horseback ride. Those ponies were very fast!! It was alot of fun.
Later that evening we went for a fabulous dinner at The Lazy Parott. The food was fantastic! I had filet, Rick had lobster, michel and Liz had fish, and and Doug had a whole snapper. After the meal, rick and Doug combined their food carcuses to create the ferocious SnapLobster of Rincin. Silly Boys. When we got back to the house, our host, Doc, who lives on the bottom level of the house and is a dear friend of mine, had backed me a birthday cake!! Look out! We don't want to burn down the house with all those candles!

We flew home the day after that, which was made wonderful by the upgrades we recevied(gotta love medallion status!!) and our flight got home 1/2 hour early, which is always wonderful when you are flyinghome!!
A good time was had by all, I can't wait to go back.
