Side Note: Stuff like this is good for me...because I typically plan out my life to the minute. So, being spontaneous was a refreshing change. Also, this little trip was another example of how Chad and I balance each other out; Chad is creative and comes up with crazy ideas, but I am the one who has the nerve and has to convince him to actually do the crazy stuff. So I guess that means we're a good team...right?!? ha ha
Despite our lack of preparation, we had a blast and did tons of fun stuff. We packed in the following into our one-day trip: a hike through the rain forest, swimming in a waterfall, touring a fortress, site seeing in the city, and a bioluminescent kayak tour through mangroves! Whew...it was exhausting! But it was AwEsOmE!!
(Sorry...I uploaded the images in reverse. So it starts at the end of the day and works forward!)
Bioluminescent Kayaking:
This was so cool...there were little organisms in the water that reacted to disturbances in the water. So, they would light up when ever we put our paddles or hands in the water. It was one of the coolest things I've ever seen happen in nature! Of course, you couldn't capture it on camera because the flash would over-power the bioluminescent lights in the water. One of those things you just have to experience and see for yourself!
The Fort:
San Juan, Puerto Rico:
Swimming in the Waterfall:
There was a pool at the bottom of this waterfall that we swam in. The water was really cold at first, but kind of refreshing once you got used to it. So much fun!
Hiking Through the Rain Forest:
There was a cool tower on the trail that you could climb to see an elevated view of the rain forest. It was awesome to see the vastness and beauty of Puerto Rico! There were also some waterfalls along the trail. About the below picture of Chad being a dork...don't even ask! :)

You CRAZY kids!! haha! I love it!! Way to take advantage of Chad's flight benefits!!! Ah.. you're making me go back in time to my month long honeymoon in Puerto Rico! It's pretty Americanized over there... however, all the street signs are in spanish.. did Chad have to do some brushing up on his language skills?! haha! Didn't you LOVE the Bioluminescent bay? Russ had the in with one of the locals and we did our OWN kayaking tour.. needless to say Russ thought it would be funny while we were all secluded out there to tip over the boat and drop us in the water and make out! Cute, Romantic, and freak'n SCARY! WE did all the other things that you guys did too! I loved hiking through the rain forest! yay!! I love that you were able to do something fun and spontanious!

You two have become quite the traveler! It all looks like so much fun! Glad to see you are taking advantage of those flight benifits, because we sure didn't! But I guess it got us home twice for free so that makes it worth it, right!?

That is so awesome that you went to PR! I have been there twice and have pictures of every one of those places you went! I love it! Yeah I chopped my hair and I really like it! Way easier to handle! We will have to do Peru one day together when Chad becomes a rich Doc to treat us all!
