Mi Viaje a Puerto Rico

Our trip to Puerto Rico was very relaxing and full of time spent with family and friends. On Saturday Mom had a get together to celebrate our arrival. My Tio Noemi and Titi Lydia (my Dad's brother and sister) were there as well as my cousins, Alma and Liana. I hadn't seen Liana in about 16 years so you can imagine how happy I was to see her. Family on my Mom's side were there too...Rafa, Maya, Tomas & Livia and of course neighbor friends. We had such a fun night...went to bed at 2:30am


Sunday we went to Old San Juan. If you ever get to go to P.R. you've got to go see this beautiful city that is full of history. Of course I had to go to the Coach Store, you can always get a bargain there. Yep my honey bought me 2 purses. While we were there it started to rain. That was the beginning of the on and off again rain that would follows us all week long.




On Monday we went to my Titi Ana & Tio Geno's house for our traditional non stop eating feast. They are my Godparents and 2nd Parents. Livita, my cousin (but is more like my sister) surprised me with a birthday cake.

Tuesday we went to "La Loma", that's what we call the mountain where the Rodriguez side of the family lives. They are awesome...love you guys.
Wednesday was quite the day. Tropical Storm Omar was headed to Puerto Rico so everyone started to prepare for it. The government closed at noon and everyone headed to the grocery store...hehehehe. I say this because we stopped at the grocery store to buy some stuff I wanted to bring back home and OMG it was packed. It was weird because at the time there were no real signs of Omar. It was kind of exciting that we would be there for the storm. Well after all the preparation the storm moved away from PR so all we got was just a bit of rain in the middle of the night.

Whenever I go home I get together with my high school girlfriends...Rosaida, Sandra & Myrna. Three great ladies.

Our final night there was so nice...more food and family. Thanks to everyone for everything. We really enjoyed you all.

Gracias a toda mi familia y amistades. Especialmente Mami!! La pasamos tan bien y disfrutamos encantidad. XXOO
