the first sign of really being on vacation…..sleeping in. i get up early, usually at 5:30 AM, but today wake up time was 10 AM, oh the sheer luxury of it all.
the rest of the morning went a lot like yesterday: up, gym, breakfast, and pool. but i did go to a different pool and i went to the beach. at the pool i ran into a couple of ladies i met yesterday. sisters, here for their birthdays (3 days apart), from South Carolina. we got to chatting, and they mentioned the were going to the rain forest, and asked if i wanted to go with…so nice if them!
the El Yunque rain forest was really pretty. we stopped at Coca Falls, a viewing tower and then and another falls that you could wade to and stand under. it was about a 35 minute walk each way, a narrow but paved path and slightly steep and slippery at parts. in my opinion, completely worth the time, but i’m really glad i didn’t pay to take the tour, it was expensive and i didn’t need a longer hike with a lot of people.
