Beautiful Puerto Rico

As most of you know, John and I spent 5 days in Puerto Rico celebrating our 20th anniversary in May.  The weather was great and we really enjoyed Puerto Rico.  It's only a 3 hour flight from here, everyone speaks English, easy to get around (for the most part) and you can drink the water!  What's not to love?!   We didn't get to do all that we wanted to so we definitely plan on going back again to see the rest of the island.  Here's a few pictures but there will be more to come because there's too many to post in one sitting.  Adios...

 The beautiful buildings of Old San Juan

 The narrow cobblestone streets of Old San Juan. It's a parallel parking nightmare.



 Our beautiful room at the El Convento in Old San Juan

 The courtyard right outside our room

 The plunge pool on the roof

 The church across the street from the hotel. Ponce de Leon is buried there.

Bubbles






Tonight we made our own bubble blowers from empty water bottles and made our own soap mixture from water and dishwashing liquid.  Then we headed outside for some fun.  We made some HUGE bubbles!

A night on the field


Ansley recently had the opportunity to attend a Knights baseball game with her Girl Scout troop and then sleep over on the field afterwards.   I think there were 200 girls that slept in tents on the field that night.  (Thank goodness I didn't have to do this with them! I don't ever want to sleep in a tent again if I don't have to.)  They even got to watch Tangled on the big screen.  Ansley had fun but it was unusually cold that night for that late in May and they froze!  Ansley said it was a great experience but she's never doing it again!
