January 2022

We love Cabo Rojo and especially this area by the lighthouse. We spent a day at the pink salt flats and Playa Sucia dressed as Mama Shark and Baby Shark!

 

 

Later this month we took a trip to the deep mountains of Orocovis, one of the highest altitude cities in Puerto Rico. Here we stayed at a little house that had a waterfall in the backyard! We had a great time playing in the river even though it was super chilly water since it can get much colder high in the mountains especially in January. We also climbed a mountain called Cerro Mime which is named that because of all the gnat flies at the top. But what an incredible view!! We also took a looong hike in the rain through the Toro Negro forest to the tiny little tower at the top.

  

Closer to home we finished an adventure we had started back in August 2021. We returned to Charco Carmelas in San Sebastian with some friends to walk up the river and find the twin falls! This is quite an adventure as you have to swim through canyons and walk literally in the river to reach the end point where there are two waterfalls side by side. The river was a little dry compared to when we first found the river in August, but it was still super beautiful!

We spent some time at home at the farm planting and harvesting flowers and fruit, at the beach  with friends and other spots in our daily life routine. We also went to a funeral of a good friend and neighbor which was heartbreaking.

Trip to Old San Juan and El Yunque

We recently took our first family trip to Old San Juan and El Yunque. We stopped in Santurce/Condado area and had lunch at a Korean BBQ place. It had been a year or so since I’d been to Old San Juan and over 10 years for Britton! We went with our friends from Quebradillas, Heidi and her family. We walked around and saw most of the sights that were open. It’s such a cool and historic area! We stayed the night so that we wouldn’t be rushed to get back and so we could explore the next day!


We didn’t get to use the pool at the Airbnb we stayed at much, but we did hop in!


El Morro on our Honeymoon and Now -Same spot years later!


Not the same garita, but the same idea haha

We also got to visit El Yunque. They have a reservation system that’s pretty easy. It’s $2 per car, but they sell fast on the weekends so make sure to snag them up. If they don’t have any available, just visit the south side of El Yunque where there are no reservations required. We saw La Coca Falls, Yokahu tower, Mt Britton and Tower (we love the name haha), the Bano Grande and more. It is just so beautiful! Afterward we had a nice dinner at an amusement park style place called Carabail.
