Melissa looking pretty with a flower found on the streets of Ponce, Puerto Rico
Melissa and I have had a fairly busy summer, and have done some traveling along the way, including our first vacation together since our honeymoon. When looking for discount airfares, Melissa stumbled across some cheap flights for Puerto Rico, so we took advantage of the Independence Day holiday to maximize vacation time and spend a few days on the Caribbean island. Neither of us know Spanish very well, but it sounded like an exotic enough destination for us to be able to see some new sights, and try some new cuisine.
We spent most of our time in Viejo San Juan, where we spent our time perusing shops, visiting museums and historic sites, and exploring the fortifications along the shore of the island. Then we took a day to visit the rainforest known as El Yunque. We also traveled to the southern coast to Ponce where we stayed in an historic hotel, visited an famous fire station, ate some delicious meats, and had ice cream on the plaza (twice!).
Boats on the Lake Tahoe
Since Carter has been out hiking on the Pacific Crest Trail for the last few months, and we miss him dearly, we went out to meet up with him in Lake Tahoe. What a beautiful place. The photos truly don’t do it justice. Carter is doing well, and we had a good weekend catching up with him while rafting, sailboating, and eating. We even had our own close encounter with wildlife when a bear climbed up a tree right outside our cabin.
It has been a busy summer, but one that has brought with it lots adventures and good memories.
