The work part
now on to the fun part....my 200 hours of "See Puerto Rico"
Fajardo
Its safe to say that Fajardo is exactly what one thinks of when they see the postcard perfect pictures of Puerto Rico. Beautiful, crystal clear waters, sun shine and sandy beaches. Our first Sunday we opted for a catamaran cruise to an island complete with rum punch, snorkeling and a sunburn. After a very stressful first week, it was exactly what the Dr. ordered. Our vessel was the Catamaran Spread Eagle II.
After dashing to the El Yunque, the plan was to grab some dinner and then head out to Laguna Grande, a luminescent bay. I've been told that the bio bay seems to light up as you move through it. It appears as though the water is glowing. This was a major high item on my PR to-do list, but as luck would have it, it was a complete down pour, with lots of lightening....so being adults, we opted not to go and did a bar crawl back to San Juan instead. Very adult right??? Although I did get a pina colada in a real coconut that was cut with a giant sword....so there's that to be excited about.
San Juan
We spent most of the weekends in San Juan, as we worked from the State Office on Saturday's. While I prefer the countryside to the city, Sand Juan was a pretty neat city....for a few days.
I loved the narrow, stone streets with towering buildings with balconies. Although the streets smelled terrible, it was a quaint, interesting part of the island.

El Yunque National Forest
El Yunque is the only tropical rainforest in the National Forest System and also one of the smallest at 29,000 acres. Parts of the forest were still closed due to damage from Hurricane Maria, but some parts had been recently opened. It was beautiful, trees as far as the eye could see and waterfalls gurgling around what seemed like every corner.

| Lote 23 |
Lote 23, is a lot in downtown San Juan with food trucks, cute picnic tables and chickens running around everywhere. Of course this was one of my favorite places to eat because Franklin's brother was here!
