El Yunque Rain Forest

Scott and I had a WONDERFUL time on our 7 day Caribbean Cruise!! I have so much to share from our trip so I'll try to take time to write a little every few days until I've posted photos from all our adventures.

Starting with the day before the cruise left...we arrived early in San Juan so we could enjoy Puerto Rico a bit and do some sightseeing...Saturday we went hiking in El Yunque Rain Forest!

This is the view of San Juan from the top of the first tower we hiked to. What a lookout!


Here's Scott up top of the tower...it was a decent hike up there..needless to say Scott was a good sport about taking 'rests' so I could catch my breath!

Here is the second, smaller tower we looked out from, called Briton Tower....I'm up at the top waving but its hard to see with the light reflecting!
When we got to the top we were bummed out because it was SOO foggy and all we could see was white--not much of a lookout!! Then within a few minutes the fog just lifted and we could see all the greenery! It was beautiful. Here is a photo as the fog was lifting!
