Yesterday was an amazing day filled with laughter. Keith and Kevin came over to our resort and hung out on the beach with us. We had a nice lunch delivered to our beach chairs and spent a few hours just lounging around. A small shower passed through around 3:30 so we headed in.
Keith and Kevin grabbed an Uber and went back to town to freshen up. Lesley, Ray, Eric and I showered and decided to walk the 1.8 miles to old Town San Juan. It was a beautiful walk and the cloud cover kept the temperature almost tolerable. San Juan has a really nice walking path along the coast with historical markers along the way.
It took us about an hour to find our way to The Casa Blanca Hotel. This is a gorgeous boutique hotel in the heart of downtown. Keith and Kevin showed us around including the roof top deck and their room.
We all decided to go to Aqua Viva for dinner. Eric and I ate there years ago and loved it. This was the first place we ever ate Ceviche and also the first place we tried a Mojito. They did not dissapoint. Both were still delicious and our dinners were all amazing.
After dinner we walked around looking for a place to have one more drink before heading back to the Caribe. We came across a restaurant that Keith and Kevin ate at the night before. The servers invited us in and made us fantastic drinks. It was fun to watch them talk about their cocktails and the ingredients. They definitely approached it like an art. We were treated like family and had a great time swapping stories and laghing our heads off.
We have a tropical garden on the grounds of our hotel that we have dubbed the secret garden. It is full of iguanas, ducks, geese, swans, turtles, koi and other wildlife. We have been visiting the garden a couple of times a day. It's so peaceful and fun to see the wildlife. We took one last stroll through the garden before turning in for the night.
We have a big day ahead of us. We are packing up and moving on. We are really excited to get to our next location where we are staying for 10 days. It will be nice to unpack and really feel settled. More then that it feels like we are headed home. Watch out here we come.
ST CROIX!!!!
