I’ve got this trip scheduled and a plane ticket purchased! I’ll be visiting a friend stationed here that I haven’t seen in 14 years and I’m really looking forward to it. :)

I liked the Arts and Crafts museum the best :)

By hopping on the subway and spending the day downtown. I visited el Museo del Prado, Plaza Mayor, Palacio Real, and Parque Retiro. Must have horchata in the park on a hot day!

We stayed in Guayama for 10 days and drove all over the island to take in as much as possible (and the driving is crazy)! We were able to snorkel in Culebra, hike in El Yunque rainforest, visit the huge radio telescope in Arecibo, see pig roasts in Guavate, visit an art museum in Ponce, and lounge on the beach in Cabo Rojo. Yes, we were very busy but it was fabulous!

My college roommates were sisters from Jo’burg and I was able to go down for one’s wedding in 2001. We visited Thornybush game reserve and saw the Big 5 on dawn and dusk drives. At night it was so absolutely dark—I’ve never seen so many stars! We also spent a couple days in Capetown visiting wineries and the cape. We got to experience why it’s often called “the cape of storms.” :) The view from Table Mountain is gorgeous!
