here we come puerto rico....
we left from vegas, flew to chicago and then to ft.lauderdale...
it was a long day
2.4.11
we landed in ft. lauderdale around midnight and didn't
leave for puerto rico until after 8am.
johnny slept on the floor, i slept in a chair
this is where we lived for 5 days
our first day there we took a nap, checked out the facilities
of our hotel and then ate dinner at the tiki bar outside by
the beach. we were starving
2.5.11
it was yummy.
we ordered sandwiches to take with us on our
hike in the "el yunque" rainforest.
waterfall and on the way back it started to pour;
just like in the movies. it was totally clear and then
wham...pouring rain, in a matter of 30 seconds, we were drenched.
it was awesome!
2.6.11
he was just chillin' with all of us at the pool;
he was huge!!!
pool or beach.
both were only 20 feet from each other
so we gave in and did both
2.7.11
on monday we rented a car and drove 45 minutes to san juan
(puerto rico's capital).
"el morro"
is a fort that was built in the early 1500's to protect san juan
from invaders coming in ships en route to the new world from
europe. it's massive and impressive!
"cafe del punto". we shared an order of "mofongo",
a traditional puerto rican dish. a must, if you go!
it was dilicioso! (Monfongo is made by mashing
tostones (twice fried plantains) with garlic, olive oil, and bacon.)
ours came with chicken on top and was served with a side of
rice and beans. yummy!!! i hope to attempt to make it soon.
2.8.11
coming home
a full day of flying...ft. lauderdale, houston, then vegas.
