Puerto Rico, Day Three



Bill's parents took us on a catamaran/snorkeling trip for my birthday present. (Fantastic present!) We drove out to Fajardo to get on the boat. It turned out to be on of the best days of my life. So beautiful and peaceful.

I was a little nervous about snorkeling, but after a couple of minutes I felt like a pro. We swam with the fish (and one stingray) all day, collected shells from the perfect beaches for my Mom, drank many Pina Coladas and rum punches and ate a great lunch on the boat. Such an awesome day on Spread Eagle II (heh)...
It took us about 30 minutes to get to the first (almost deserted) island. We snorkeled in some shallow-ish water before we moved on to another location where we snorkeled in about 15 feet of crystal clear water. Then we boated around, saw some more sights and then, sadly, headed back.

If you're ever in the area, it's a must do.

My sweetheart :)

El Conquistador Resort

First stop- Icacos Island





Isla Lobos (Wolves Island)... which we referred to as "A-hole Island",
because it was private and we couldn't swim up to it. :)

15 ft. down


Happy, happy girl


If only every day could be like this.
I just have to keep reminding myself that I'll get to do it all again next year!

Casino in Marriott

That night we went to dinner at Cielito Lindo in Condado
and had some yummy Mexican food.

After dinner, we hung out at Marriott for a bit to play some nickel and quarter slots. I didn't win much, but I also didn't spend much- neither of us are big gamblers, but it was fun... I'd never actually gambled in a casino before. I'd rather go shopping than risk losing $$ on a machine. ;)
