Due to some technological issues, I haven't done this post yet. For spring break we went to Puerto Rico with our friends Melissa and Daniel; it was such an epic trip!!! We travelled the whole island, stayed on a beach ranked #5 in the world, ate amazing food, saw incredible things, zip-lined, snorkeled, hiked to waterfalls, swam in a bioluminescent bay, and much more!!! This was our second time in Puerto Rico but this time we stayed much longer and did so much. I have a really special place in my heart for this little island in the Caribbean now and hope to go back many times over. If anyone wants to plan a trip, we are in!! :)
Time for picture overload, what you are all hoping for :)
Right off the plane, before we knew how much fun we were about to have!
Arecibo beach; this beach isn't very well known and all the locals kept pointing and sayings "Gringos!"
John and Daniel were so stoked, they sat and talked about all our weekly plans!
The waves crashed on these rocks so hard!
We drove from Arecibo to the west side of the island to get a great view of the sun setting. It was the perfect end to our first day!
The best continental breakfast; cream of wheat and fresh fruit every morning :)
Our hike down to the waterfall in San Sebastian was pretty steep!!
The waterfall! :)
The Mangums and Us! Amazing friends and so much fun to travel with!
All over the freeways in Puerto Rico there are locals cooking and selling these kabobs called "Pinchos" They are incredible and the bread on top is so soft and delicious!
Rope swings at another waterfall!
Our first pina colada of the trip; we went on a search for the best one!
After the waterfalls, we went to crash boat beach and swam, played in the water and enjoyed the view!
These crazy pelicans came so close to us!
Crashboat beach ended up being ironic; John crashed and Melissa had a good tumble in the water!
On our way down to La Parguera we found my favorite Pina Colada! I was so happy :)
We went snorkeling and swam in the bioluminescent bay, it was a romantic setting! :)
The next day we went Rincon and chilled on the patio and watched the waves come in!
Rincon has huge waves and hosted a major surfing competition the day before we got there, it was so cool to see those huge waves!
We drove up to central Puerto Rico after Rincon and the boys went ziplining on the biggest zipline in the U.S.
We seriously had the time of our lives; the most beautiful beaches ever!!
Traditional Puerto Rican dish called Mufungo, sooo good!
We went off the mainland and went to Culebra. We stayed in this perfect little Villa right on Flamenco Beach! It's ranked number 5 in the world and it was incredible!
Chillin on the hammock; never been more relaxed!
Flamenco Beach!!
The best pastry, Quesito. I tried to find one every morning :)
A must when traveling to beaches :)
All the pina coladas we tried!!! The top left and top middle were the favorites :)
Our last day, shopping in Old San Juan!
Ah, going through all these pictures makes me want to go back right now! We had the best trip and it is one we'll remember our whole lives!
