Flashback to Puerto Rico: August 9, 2005

This is the 3rd Part in the Honeymoon Flashback Series.  I would like to finish sharing this whole journal that we wrote on our honeymoon in 2005 before we leave to start our new Puerto Rico life adventure this fall 2013. Go here for Part 1 and Part 2.

The Camuy Caverns

Day 3- Tuesday, August, 9, 2005

Another successful day. We woke up fairly early and had a swim at the pool outside our door. Then we showered and had breakfast on the veranda and were off down the crazy, curvy roads once again.

The ceremonial Indian site was temporarily closed, but there were some protestors trying to get recognition for the Taino Indians as an official tribe.

In the Camuy Caves. Not too difficult if people are bringing in strollers! 🙂

We went a little further to the Camuy Caves. It was a little expensive for what it was which was not much and nothing compared with Carlsbad Carverns, but it was cool when it started to rain outside and we watched a waterfall start! We couldn’t leave the cave because it was so rainy.  Then we heard someone yell, “Las piedras estan cayendo!” -“Rocks are falling!” So they rushed us back onto the trolley where a rock had just hit.

Some cool, colored and iridescent formations

It was a rainy drive and when we arrived back here we napped in a hammock listening to the rain. Then we talked with Steven, the owner of this place for a while and had a nice dinner.
