Christina & Geancarlo PJ (10/4/08) WP&GF: Planning 5 year Anniversary back at GF

Ok, so I thought the picture of you kissing at the back of Cindy's coach was my favorite, but now I think that the one of you two kissing in the background of Mickey and Minnie kissing may have tied! So cute! I also LOVE the pictures that were taken when the confetti cannons went off...how magical! I can't wait to read more about the honeymoon too...your pictures are beautiful.

Day 3 San Juan, PUERTO RICO

So today is Day 3 Puerto Rico, we were wacthing as we got closer and closer to the island
CIMG3544.jpg


There was a bad thunderstorm brewing over the island
CIMG3545.jpg

But we werent going to let that ruin our fun, I called me mom to tell her that I was in PR and I was sp excited... I have never been to PR so it was great to actually see the country my mom was born...

The island and its town is so beautiful
CIMG3552.jpg

CIMG3553.jpg


So we met with the couple we were assigned with for dinners every night and we conquered the Old San Juan
CIMG3556.jpg



I LOVE DragonFlys so I had to take this pic
CIMG3558.jpg


It was a rainy day that we stopped to get an umbrella, there goes my hair:scared1:
CIMG3561.jpg

CIMG3562.jpg


We decided to head to the Fort
CIMG3564.jpg

The Fort was so interesting to walk around in

CIMG3592.jpg




After walking all day we went into a beautiful Antique shoppe and I bought some old glass bottles to collect beach sand, I do this in any destination I go to

We were getting hungry so all I wanted to eat was Alcapurria- My grandmother makes them AWESOME and I had to try one from the hometown

CIMG3610.jpg


An alcapurria is a dish from Puerto Rico made from a mixture of mainly yautía and may contain ground squash, plantains, green banana and other starchy tropical tubers filled with ground beef or crab meat and deep fried in oil. Yuca "alcapurrias" are usually stuffed with crab, shrimp or lobster meat. Many Puerto Ricans enjoy this dish and are often found eating it at the beach with friends. "Alcapurrias" are also one of the many dishes served on the kiosk stands


Again I called my mom and told her what I was eating... so good

We shopped around some more and we asked the locals where we can get real authentic PR food, I felt like I was Rachel Ray on "$40 a day"
asking the locals where we should eat:rotfl:

They told us a restaurant called Raices (pronounced Rye-Eee- Ces)
GREAT restaurant!!!!! We are actually going back to PR in September with my sister and her BF Scott and we want to take them there,,,

GREAT FOOD

CIMG3618.jpg


All I wated to eat besides Alcapurria is Mofongo ( I know its a weird name)
My mom makes it soooo darn good
CIMG3619.jpg


You can't walk into a self-respecting Puerto Rican restaurant and not see mofongo on the menu. It's a must-try for first-time visitors who want to claim to have sampled the local fare. Essentially, mofongo is a mashed mound of plantains into which a combination of seafood, meat, or vegetables is added. It can be served as a side dish or a main course accompanied typically by beans and rice.

The couple we were with loved the Mofongo
and we then had it with Flan...
CIMG3620.jpg



We had a lot of fun and we were so stuffed
CIMG3624.jpg
 
So now it was time to say Goodbye to Old San Juan, we had such a great time shopping, eating, site seeing and really enjoy the culture of PR

Geancarlo loves breakfast, I am just good with a bagel or cereal..lol

Here are the trucks that transport you from one beach to another
IMG_0321.jpg

IMG_0322.jpg

They drove pretty crazy there
IMG_0323.jpg


We went to Magens Bay which was a beautiful beach,
we spent most of our day there relaxing and having a good time

We had to leave the beach by I think 2pm so we can get back on the ship on time, plus we wanted to do some shopping

I love Starfish and I saw this beautiful necklace pendant that I wanted well Geancarlo bought it for me and I was super thrilled...

We headed back to the ship so we can lay out again on the top deck
but look what was in our room
IMG_0369.jpg

CIMG3641.jpg


we got back in our room and we had about 4 hours until dinner
so we ended up napping since the sun really got us tired

8pm dinner reservations
so we started talking with our friends about our day and they started talking about their day
CIMG3640.jpg

CIMG3642.jpg


After dinner we hung out with our friends till late and then got ready for st. Marteen

IMG_0378.jpg

IMG_0379.jpg

IMG_0380.jpg


after relazing by the beach I got completely dehydrated, I was exzposed to the sun and drinking frozen margaritas, I got up ready to leave and I thought I was going to faint plus bring my lunch back up, Geancarlo had to get me iced water and pour it on the back of my neck and had me drink it... I felt so much better after... phewwww I didnt want to be sick the reast of the day
 
After laying out all day, our taxi driver was ready for us to take us back to the port, He was a really nice guy who gave us alot of information about the island, he dropped us right off at the port and Geancarlo stopped to get a coconut smoothie, I was still feeling a little woozy so I told Geancarlo that I wanted to get back to our room shower and relax, which I did and I passed out for hours, until Geancarlo woke me to start getting ready for dinner..

the beds are so comfy and I had the room really cold..

Before dinner we took some Pro photos in the Lobby

IMG_0371.jpg


It was beautifully decorated and the desserts were even better, we hung out till late on the deck drinking and laughing then headed back to our room for the next day at SEA
 
DAY 6 DAY AT SEA


Alot of people dont like Day at Sea but I love it, it gives me a chance to lay out by the pool nap in my room, explore the ship more

All we did was layed out had lunch, layed out again,
