Two Kinds of Beauty......

We were lucky enough to spend last week exploring Puerto Rico with some very good friends. They've been living there during the cold winter months for years, so know the island very well....and happily shared it with us. We left Wisconsin's winter (even though the temperatures were in the 60's!) and fled south with swim suits.

Our two condos overlooked the ocean and beach covered with silky sand stretching for miles. Palm trees, little coquis singing in the trees at night, a swimming pool for water aerobics, and an activity room where we played dominoes with several couples. We had movie night and watched Russell Crow's "Beautiful Mind", took a walk to Loquillo for coffee (delicious) and enjoyed several meals out to explore the local cuisine.

They took us up to the rain forest.....a first for us! And we explored historic Old San Juan with it's narrow streets filled with colorful Caribbean homes as well as Fort Morro. On Saturday they took us across the island to Guavate for a pig roast and salsa music. The best was the ferry trip across to Culebra to snorkel.....beautiful coral and lots of colorful fish.

So.....we enjoyed Puerto Rican beauty....lots of it!

We flew home on Tuesday.....and spent Wednesday enjoying a different kind of Wisconsin beauty.....coating every branch.
