I’ve always wanted to visit Puerto Rico, the small island of my ancestors, ever since I can remember. Plans to go failed over the years for one reason or another, but the third time was the charm!
Our first visit to Puerto Rico for our 30th wedding anniversary was set, and after making the flight reservations and renting an Airbnb, we were so excited to have some family members join us! Our baby girl, my lit’l brother, cousins, hubby, and I made the 6 of us. ¡Wepa!
And these are the 6 fun-loving crazies enjoying our last evening together in Puerto Rico, out on the patio. We shared tons of stories, many delicious meals, and loads of laughter. We plan on getting together again in the future, hopefully with even more family members.
I wholeheartedly loved our time in Puerto Rico and learning about its fascinating culture. I enjoyed the few excursions we took, mainly visiting El Yunque Rainforest, and getting on a boat to go snorkeling and see some of the wonders of marine life underwater.
I found it interesting that the little chirping Coquí frogs are the national symbol for Puerto Rico: and just like the Puerto Rican people, they are resilient, their voices are loud, and they will be heard! LOL and this is why the coquí is the perfect national symbol for Puerto Rico: small island, small frog, BIG VOICE. Besides, these tiny creatures would have kept me up all night if I didn’t have my earplugs on!
