August 2022

August 2022 was a little more chill as we didn’t take long trips but rather focused on local excursions such as to Anasco and other closeby spots. Lots of time was spent at home playing and growing.

May 2022 -Mother’s Day, Aguadilla, Quebradillas and More

In May 2022 we had a lot of fun at home and a little bit out on the island as well. The finca keeps growing and so does our little guy!

The Holiday Season in Puerto Rico 2019

The holidays are in full swing here in Puerto Rico this year. The festivities are on fire and it seems that every other day we have one party or another to attend. It has been so much fun! Thanksgiving with our neighbors, birthday parties, cookie exchanges, encendidos, parrandas, school parties and more. It has been non-stop. It is so true that Puerto Rico knows how to party and the winter Christmas season is the best for that!

   

When we haven’t been out having fun, we’ve been trying to take advantage of the extra time we have with Aeden in daycare and the fact that it has been so much cooler in order to expand the gardens. We recently planted over 35 new cultivars of heliconias and are so excited to see them grow! The cabana has been steadily booked with guests and so that keeps us busy with maintenance, tours and turnover. It’s been a very fufiling time in our lives. I’ve been trying to make more videos in order to capture the essence of life these days, sort of “vlog” style if you’d like to watch some other things that we’ve been up to. Here’s our channel: LIFETRANSPLANET YOUTUBE

It’s been an active period of growth, literally, while we enjoy the holidays as well. We hope yours are going well also! Felicidades.

Life Updates: Around the Farm and Town

Life has been swinging right along.

We continue working on our flower business. We have more demand than supply so that’s always a great recipe for expanding and planting more and more. Something we love to do anyway!


Our flowers at a wedding!


Our flowers on display!


More and more flowers on their way!

Animals are doing well


We’ve taken some time for beach days


Freshest coconut water from the crew down the road!

We continue to host our cabana for rent and have had some really fun guests such as ethnobotanist and author Maria Benedetti and competitive surfer Dominque Miller stay with us!

We’ve been out hunting more waterfalls and found a nice close one in Anasco that is also an abandoned park!

 

 
At Salto La Encantada

Aeden keeps getting bigger and bigger and has even started walking a little! We also have put him in daycare a few days a week which has opened up our time quite a bit in order to manage our businesses (and just get a breather). He seems to enjoy the socialization time that he doesn’t get being with us 24/7.


Approximately one year apart! My how he has changed!

Dress code at home: No shirt, no shoes, no problem!

Well, that about covers everything new in our world. Hope all’s well in yours!
