We landed in San Juan on Friday, June 13th. A quick cab to our hotel to meet our friends, a light dinner and we called it a fairly early night. Ok, there was some rum drinking involved, but not too much :)
Saturday we got into our rental car and headed to the west side of the island towards a little town called Lares. My friends family has their home their and we were planning on spending the next three nights with them. Here is the overview of Lares:
- House with a beautiful view of the mountains
- Puppies to hang out with
- Amazing food, including fresh orange juice (picked at the property) in the morning
- Ventana Caves
- Amazing family to spend time with
From Lares we headed back to San Juan to our rental property. We had rented a house in Old San Juan; a beautiful 2 bedroom home within walking distance of all the things we wanted to see. Here is the overview of San Juan:
- Shopping
- Bacardi Distillery Tour
- Kayaking in a Bio-luminescent Bay
- Really good food
- Tour of Castillo San Felipe del Morro, one of the original forts on the island
- More rum
The views were breathtaking and the experience was unbelievable. I LOVE plantains and Mofungo has become my favorite meal ever. I think the only reason why I didn't come home 20lbs heavier is because ALL we did was walk. And it was about 10,000 degrees outside with the humidity looming right around 300%. Seriously, I have never been so hot in my entire life. Which brings me to my next point...
Getting back on the wagon.
Vacation is amazing, but it was way too hot to do any exercise besides walking, so now that I am home and back to reality, it's time to get moving again. The Advocare challenge helped me to lose about 13lbs. I felt a lot better when it was done, but I am ready to start again! Well, not the challenge per say, but ready to get back to eating healthy and working out!
