Hi, everyone! It’s Alessandra.
Today was our second day here, and some of us started off our day by going for a run with Brian. It was drizzling a little bit, but it was still nice. While we were running, we heard the Puerto Rican national frog, the coqui. It is a very tiny tree frog.
The first adventure we had today was going to the rain forest. The rain forest’s name is El Yunque. Everything there was just beautiful. The plants, the flowers, the ground, everything. As soon as we got up into the rain forest, it started to pour! Even though we had rain gear, we all still got soaked. It was still so amazing.
After El Yunque we went to a beach called Luquillo. It was a public beach with lots of people. It just showed how diverse Puerto Rico is. The water was fantastic. It is a blue color, not so much clear blue, just blue. It was also very salty. It was warm as well. After we were tired of swimming and were starting to get "pruny," a lot of us went walking along the beach to a little beach food shack. The food there was so delicious. Tonight we went to dinner at a restaurant called Bebos. The food there was yummy, too.
It is just amazing to be here in Puerto Rico and seeing all the culture, the diversity, the sights. It is an amazing experience for me.
Hope you are having a good time and good weather back home in Philly! :)
This all sounds wonderful and I am so happy everyone gets to bond and learn together. I look forward to the next post. With love - the luckmans

Love the extra adventure that started the day! Do it again tomorrow! and the next day and the next!
So good to hear from you while you are in the midst of the experience. I can feel the adventure in your description. I was in Puerto Rico twice,the first time on my honeymoon many moons ago, and then in 2001 with Ron. I loved it too.
