Day 3 in Puerto Rico was spent on the beach. The house we are staying at in Loiza has a private entrance to the beach about 100 yards from our front door. We walked down first thing this morning and had the beach to ourselves! We played and built sand castles and sunbathed and lost ourselves in the beauty around us. It is one of the most beautiful places I’ve been and we feel so lucky to be staying so close! The kids could not get enough of the ocean and the boys especially LOVED playing in the waves.
We did take a break in the afternoon and the kids had some school work to get done and zoom calls to join. Josh worked as well and Desh and mom took a nap :) We took a short trip to the mercado and Desh dropped a liter of orange Fanta on the ground that immediately exploded everywhere! He was super embarrassed so of course started to cry. He felt better as he figured out that no one was mad at him and the store owner gave him a chocolate bar! And keen became the bar tender and mixed up our favorite drink Gin and Juice (ginger ale and orange juice). We’ve become Latinos as we get fresh bread from the bakery each morning and love the smell of fresh air mixed with the salty ocean and a little bit of open sewage :) It takes josh and I back to our mission days where we fell in love with Latins and everything about their culture.
We finished off our night back at the beach until the sun set. We feel so lucky to have this adventure and be able to be here as a family!
