Last full day in Puerto Rico

On our last full day in Puerto Rico we spent our morning on a sunrise hike. One of the things we loved so much about Puerto Rico was the captivating sunrises and ocean views. We stayed for a while before heading back to the Big Yellow House to pack our things. Once everything was packed, we stuffed all our belongings in a van that delivered them to our new house. But before we got to our final destination, we took a very relaxing detour to El Yunque National Rainforest, where we dove into a natural spring and climbed atop some rocks.

After our excursion, we walked back to the van where we headed to a small beachfront plaza where we discovered a wide variety of souvenir shops and restaurants with delicious foods. We stayed there for a bit before finally driving to see our new house, which was beautiful! We got ourselves settled a bit before heading out to go kayaking in a lake full of bioluminescent bacteria. It was amazing, though it did smell a bit funky during the journey there through the mangrove forest. It was a very good workout for the arms. Once we got back, thankfully all in one piece, we split up the boys and girls into separate houses. We drove to pick up our belongings and move to our respective houses, where we spent the rest of the night enjoying the sounds and sights of the night city. A beautiful end to a perfect day.
