{Puerto Rico}

Puerto Rico... what to say about Puerto Rico... 

This port was one of my all time favorites.  Mike and I did a bus tour and didn't venture far from San Juan.  

We both decided that one day we want to travel back here just to explore - the sights, culture, food... everything was fantastic.  It was also interesting to hear about some of the local politics as well as recovery from Hurricane Maria.  Several months have elapsed since they were hit by the hurricane and there are STILL parts of the island without power. 

Here are some of the places we glimpsed on our tour.  

The cobblestone streets and brightly colored houses seemed like something out of a magazine.  It was really fun to walk through them.  We had to get back to the ship to pick up the kids from the childcare .. since Mike let me galavant around St. Thomas with my sister and stayed in as designated parent I did the same for him in Puerto Rico.  He got some more awesome shots of the cute little streets and did some exploring of an old war fort that was there. 

Isn't it dreamy?

Mike thinks I'm obsessed because Puerto Rico is the homeland of my favorite broadway writer/actor Lin Manuel Miranda (it's true I am obsessed with Lin's work) BUT this is not the case! 

Puerto Rico is pretty amazing all on it's own. 

The last few shots are as we are leaving the island.

Until next time, Puerto Rico!  We'll be back!
