There's no place like home! There's no place like home!




We're back! Dustin and I arrived home in TX really late Saturday evening from Puerto Rico. We had a blast. The waveless beach was beautiful and peaceful. The rain forest was amazing and the coqui were enchanting. I guess there is a lot of coral reefs around the island that we were frequenting, therefore, no waves. I thought it was kind of a bummer at first but it was kind of nice to float gently on the surface of the waveless water. The water was clear and I had a pet fish that was intrigued with me as I was of it. The whole time I was in the water the fish was by my side. It was lots of fun. We saw some crabs and found several nice size conch shells. Dustin and I went wave running one morning and enjoyed that (at least I did as I was captaining the vessel and went at my own, safe, pace.) We went to the rain forest one day and it was just beautiful. We were all set up to go zip lining but that fell through at the last minute so we did our own thing and hiked down to this beautiful waterfall. We had a wonderful time marveling at the amazing flora and fauna. One of the coolest, most memorable, parts of the trip was the coqui. Coqui are these little frogs that are only found in some of the Caribbean islands. They chirp, sounding like a bird. It actually sounds like they are saying "Co Kee." The resort we stayed in had these little frogs all over and their chirps filled the night air. It was really cool. About a day into our trip, Dustin's face started looking very well healed. By the end of the trip, there was almost no trace of a burn left on him. He has healed wonderfully and quickly. We really had a great trip and were so excited to come home and see the kiddoes!

Hooray for Puerto Rico! Eric and I got to go to the Carribean for our Honeymoon, and it flew out of Puerto Rico. We stayed there an extra day when the cruise ended to look around, and it was amazing! The blue cobble-stoned streets, awesome architecture, home of the pina colada...virgin of course. I loved Puerto Rico, glad you had a fun trip!

And did the hurricane come while you were there? What did you do for safety?
