Puerto Rico Day 7

Matt and I had planned on going snorkeling at some point during our trip. I really wanted to see a sea turtle under the water. Unfortunatly this is the day that we had decided to go. We got to the place where we wanted to rent the equipment and the guys were not there. Then we went into a dive shop to see if they rent equipment and they did but they told us that there was a swell today and that we should drive to the location to see if the waves were big. We drove over to "steps" beach and sure enough the waves were pretty big and they were one right after another. We decided not to go snorkeling so we just went to the beach again and played in the water for a little while. After that we headed back to the house to get ready to go home the next day.

Puerto Rico - Day 6

After Joel's morning nap Matt, Alison, Bob, Joel and I headed to the beach for a little bit. The beach was very nice. It was shaded by trees and there was a nice breeze so Joel didn't get to hot. Joel enjoyed watching the ocean. We spent the rest of the day at the house in the pool.

Puerto Rico Day 5

Today we got up bright and early to head out to the Camuy Caves at 8 AM. I had read reviews saying it was one of the top 3 cave systems in the world. I also read that it gets really busy so we wanted to get there early so we could get on a tour and not have to wait hours for our tour. We got a little lost on the way there but finally arrived around 10 AM. There really was not a wait at all. I guess we went in the off season. The caves were pretty cool though.

Then we headed out to the Aracebo Observatory. This is a telescope put on top of a giant sink hole where they send out radio signals to find stars and other things in outer space.

Puerto Rico Day 4

For me day 4 consisted of hanging out by the pool and taking care of Joel. For Matt it consisted of sleeping and going to the casino.

For dinner that night we went to a local establishment called Simply Delicioso. It was pretty good.

Puerto Rico - Day 3

Matt, Alison, Sara, Josh, Bob, Joel and I all headed to the beach/marina to go Parasailing. Matt and I had never been before so we wanted to take the chance while we could to take advantage of having extra hands around to watch Joel. Matt and I went first and it was definitely an experience worth doing. Joel slept through half of the boat ride and then was happy as can be for the rest of the ride. We all had a great time flying high above the ocean. We got to see great views of the country side. Then we all headed back to the house to swim and relax.

Day 2 Puerto Rico

The entire family spent most of the day lounging around/sleeping/hanging out in the pool.

Day 1 Puerto Rico

After 4 hours of sleep we headed to the rental house. We got there and waited for the rest of the Kaprove clan to get to the final destination. Their original flights for Friday were canceled so they were flying in Saturday to San Juan which was a 2 hour drive from the house.
