Viva Puerto Rico!

I heart Puerto Rico. The reasons why:

A. Spending time with these lovely ladies: Kim, Mel, Chels, Me, Adi


B. Touring around beautiful, Old San Juan. C. continuous photo shoots throughout the trip...such a good looking group!

D. Piña Coladas!!! I consumed at least 4 on the trip.
E. The El Yunque Rain Forest. This was one of my favorite stops of the trip. It was absolutely beautiful. We had fun hiking around, playing in waterfalls, and avoiding monogooses.


F. Driving around with the "Puma" Family. (side note: we names ourselves the Puma Family, after we all went crazy at the Puma store in San Juan. Some of us a little more than others :) Got to love a good sale). I found myself in the backseat for the majority of the trip. The backseat was referred to as the "monkey cage." Yes, at times we got a little out of control. Monkeys just wanna have fun!
G. Condom World was everywhere. Seriously on every block. Hey, at least they are promoting safer sex. Perhaps if this was on every block in DC, my clients would stop getting pregnant. They really need to get a new logo.

H. Riding the ferry to the island of Vieques. Adi and I took a little snooze on the way there, enjoying the sunshine!!I. V.I.E.Q.U.E.S. I loved, loved, LOVED this island. Vieques is a small island east of the Puerto Rican mainland. It was here, that we went kayaking in the Bioluminescent Bay. The "bio bay" consists of water that has four times as much salt as the ocean. The luminescence is caused by micro-organisms, which glow whenever the water disturbed. Swimming around in glow-in-the-dark water was seriously one of the coolest things I've ever done.


J. Navio Beach- I've been to quite a few beaches, (Cancun, Jamaica, Cozumel, Grand Cayman, Miami) BUT none of them compared to Navio Beach. Not only was this beach breathtaking, but we had the entire beach to ourselves for a good chunk of the day. Navio Beach is on the island of Vieques. It is a beach that is mostly known by the locals. A little off-roading is required to get to the beach. The water was so warm and clear. I couldn't wipe the smile off my face when we first arrived to this beach. I wish I could do a better job of adequately describing it's beauty!

K. Blessing the rains down in "Africa". Don't worry--we had a little sing-a-long at dinner one night to Toto's, "Africa". I think everyone at the bar/restaurant thought we were a little nuts, or perhaps intoxicated. I tell you, it's amazing what a cherry coke can do to you!

L. Dinner/Lunch with these quality people: Kyea, Mel, Adi, Me, Adam



M. Adi and I maybe stayed up all night before we left for PR, making these crazy shirts for the girls. We had a few problems with electronics that night, i.e. internet connection, and printer. I kind of like the lighting in this pic.

Could have done without: the crazy wild cats roaming around EVERYWHERE! Sick. Seriously, where do they come from, and WHY so many?? I hate cats.
