Old San Juan

We just got back from Old San Juan. We've rented a car for the weekend so we can travel around the island. Today- Old San Juan, tomorrow- Ponce, and Sunday- El Yunque (the Rainforest).

Old San Juan is BEAUTIFUL! Some of the pictures I took look more like postcards! I am astonished at the beauty of nature here! It is definitely peaceful (aside from the sirens, loud speakers, cars, and buses, of course!). Enjoy these photos:

Fort San Cristobal in Old San Juan:Mmm, also there is a Food Festival in OSJ this weekend; all the local restaurants were offering samples and discounts. We stopped by the Starbucks hut and got a Fall Apple Bar (very yummy!) and a tall Iced Passionfruit Lemonade (very yummy also!) for only $1 a piece. Mmm...

I'll take more pictures tomorrow and try to upload when we get back :)

Beautiful Bliss!

Well, we've made it through our first full week here in Puerto Rico! Here are some pictures so far!

This is Escambron Beach. It is beautiful and only 20 minutes from the dorm.

This is the school where I am teaching:
The five of us at El Ocho Blanco (a restaurant by the dorm):

Adios!

Well, in 24 hours I will be in Puerto Rico! I leave at 7:00am and get to San Juan at 8:22pm. [What a long day!] I am excited to create and experience such an exciting opportunity! I am going to miss my family and friends very very much. I will be posting pictures and such from the trip (or trying to, at least). If not, I get back December 9th and will catch you up then :)

Adios! Hasta Luego!!
