Checking in from Puerto Rico

 I wanted to give a quick update to what we have been up to so far on our vacation!  We absolutely love Puerto Rico and have had some fun adventures so far.






View from our balcony (we are staying in Luquillo).













Same view from yesterday...it rained ALL day.  And there was flash flooding!






View out of the back of the condo.  That is El Yunque Rain Forest in the background.




At El Morro, a fort that is almost 500 years old!




The drive to the Pork Highway.





Getting our grub on at El Rancho Original!  Love us some pork!








So, we have walked around some of Old San Juan, bummed it at the beach, watched some surfing (there is a surf competition going on right outside where we can see it from the balcony!), driven all over a mountain to experience the pork highway, and we went on a boat excursion to an island.  I am sure there is some other stuff in there, but those are the highlights so far.  Oh, and Josh dropped his phone and killed it.  Did I mentioned there is no Verizon store or phones on the island?  That has been fun!  Oh yeah, and hardly anyone speaks English--the kids are learning lots of Spanish so far!

I will post much more when we get back, just giving some highlights so far.  Hoping for sunny weather and no more dropped phones  :)
