So suffice it to say my favorite stops on our cruise were American affiliated if not owned locations. And by far the best stop was Puerto Rico. I love, loved it. No words to describe how amazing, even though I have tried to think of many. I already have plans to return, I know a week will hardly be enough. I can't wait to take the kids. So what was so great about it...well I'm glad you asked, because I could spend quite a bit of time, but here are the highlights....some of which I saw and some I didn't.
- Only national rainforest in the US is in Puerto Rico - El Yunque
- Many state rainforests/jungles
- Awesome beaches
- Bioluminescent Bays
- Large cities like San Juan with all your normal city stuff including theaters, museams, restaurants, parks, etc...
- Great architecture and colorful buildings
- Amazing history to the island - basically the first island where fresh water was found in the Carribean (lots fought over the land)
- Historic San Juan with its forts, stone walls, and spikes
- the people
- American amenities
- Tons of awesome tours, Seriously tons...
- Basically the juxtaposition between the old and new, poor and wealthy, city and country, foreign and familiar-it has a little bit of everything for everyone.
So I'll leave you to the pictures and your own opinions...A-MAZ-ING
