Tu Habla Ingles??? Our trip to Puerto Rico!!!

I know you all have been patiently waiting for this bliggity blog. :) Our spring break in Puerto Rico could not have been more FUN. It was totally action packed and a complete blast. Imagine a Spanish speaking Hawaii, that's what Puerto Rico reminds me of.  We got tons of sun therapy and also went on some really awesome hikes.

This was a really cool waterfall that we hiked to. The kids were jumping off the cliffs and swimming. FUN!!!

My baby boy climbing up the rocks.

The hikes weren't the only thing to die for... The beaches were so beautiful.

Have you ever gotten a parking ticket with instructions entirely in Spanish? I still have no idea what to do with the ticket, I only know it was $15.00. If anyone ever comes after me for not paying it, my reply will be " no comprende espanol". Thankfully, my friend Arelis speaks espanol and was able to tell me it was for parking in the wrong spot and not to worry she has about 6 of them lying around her house. LMAO. Ordering food  through the drive thru window was pretty interesting especially when the person on the other end does not speak or understand English. How do you say muffin in Spanish? Thank goodness my friend was behind us in the line and so graciously descended from her vehicle to order our food.

Speaking of food... I have NEVER eaten so much fried food. Bacalaitos, crunchy cod fritters; surullitos, sweet plump cornmeal fingers; and empanadillas, crescent-shaped turnovers filled with chicken, crab, conch, or beef, plaintains(my favorite), and mofungo were some of the main cuisines.  I honestly think i could go the rest of the year without eating anything fried!

Aside from gaining at least 5 lbs, getting sun therapy, and hiking, we traveled to old San Juan. The kids got to fly kites at EL Morro. They had a blast!!!!!

Here's a picture of Old San Juan. Lots of shops and restaurants!!!

On the way to El Morro, sits this totally packed cemetery

The kids got to fly kites!!!!! There were tons of people flying kites there.

I love going to new places;there is always so much to see and learn. Its the ultimate adventure and I feel so blessed that this time we were able to spend it with great friends, who just happened to be the ultimate tour guides. Thank you so much Mike and Arelis!!! We really had a terrific time and quite honestly the pictures and this blog just don't do it justice. I will post more pictures (A LOT MORE) on facebook.
