We said goodbye to our house in Rio Grande this morning (sigh...). We also said goodbye to our new friends Kim and Hector that we have grown to love these last 10 days! It has absolutely been the best place for us to be this week and a half and we are really going to miss it. From the morning walks up and down the streets around the house to the sound of the coquis in the trees, the afternoons in the pool, the hours spent playing cards on the patio, the incredible view out the window...we’re going to miss every bit of it. It has stolen a little piece of our hearts and we’ll never forget the time we got to spend here. Kim and Hector have been the most gracious hosts and have let us into their lives so kindly. We are so grateful to have gotten to know them. We left with the promise that we will stay in touch and I know we will!
Not only are we saying goodbye to the jungle house but this is also our last day in the island. Our flight leaves tomorrow and we aren’t quite sure how we feel about leaving. It’s going to be bittersweet leaving this place. But we have a lot to go home to so that’s what we’re looking forward to! We left La Lomita and drove to Old San Juan where we will be spending our last night at the Sheraton right along the water. The hotel is right downtown and a great location for us to walk around the shops and the town. We had a tour of the city with a cool guy names Tommy and his wife Stephanie. They drove us around the old fort and we got out and walked here and there while they told us about the old city. It was really cool to see it all as the sun was setting. It was a great night to be out and we enjoyed our time in the warm evening in the city.
We had time to shop today and the kids finally got to spend their money that they’ve been saving! Lots of souvenir shops they were perfect for them to browse through :) We also found a yummy gelato shop with millions of flavors for everyone to choose from. The kids were in heaven! We had one more chance to eat Puerto Rican food and we even got in a night swim at the hotel! All in all a busy but very fun day as our trip comes to a close. What a blast the past couple weeks have been!
