Puerto Rico

Roadside food trucks serve the best food. This is pollo asado with yuca and corn.

Some lady saw P eying her hat. So, she gave it to him. And, he wore it. Everybody was jealous.

Outside el Castillo de San Cristobal in Old San Juan. Appropriate for Columbus Day weekend!

Looking out from inside the castillo. This was used to keep an eye on any invaders.

Alternative to "wholesome."

Just so weird!

The main reason I wanted to go to Puerto Rico was the bioluminescent bays. It was well worth it. While we had something like 15 kayaks with the company (ie, 30 people!), slowpoke paddling in pitch black darkness, and 1 kayak flipping over and dumping its people in the water, the experience was like none other. There were a million stars in the sky, and billions of little buggies lighting up the water! These bugs light up in response to movement -- so streaks of water would illuminate with each paddle stroke, and your hands and feet would illuminate if you wiggled them in the water. Amazing.
