We attended a family reunion on my husbands side in Arroyo,Puerto Rico. It
was wonderful to see family members, new & old. Along with seeing family my
husbands uncles planned an island tour for every day we were there. It was
wonderful.

Our 1st stop was Old San Juan. We visited Fort San Felipe del Morro ( El
Morro) and surrounding areas. La Perla is right next to El Morro and is an
area of around 12 generations of history. More information can be found at
this link. Very interesting.

That evening after dinner in San Juan we went outside the restaurant into
the street. What we found was a party which happens every Fri.-Sun. night.
Live music,food & drink vendors everywhere.What a fun time...

Our next spot on the list was the islands infamous rainforest, El Yunque.
Very beautiful and peaceful.

After the rainforest we visited Las Cabezas de san Juan in Fajardo and
surrounding area, which includes tours of mangroves & coral reefs, beaches,
lagoons. Waiting for the tour bus we spotted the Iguana, he was with a
female but she hid while he climbed a tree for us to see him better!

Trip Rating:
My rating for this trip had to be a 10. We had so much fun and would suggest a trip to Puerto Rico to everyone. We have been to the island many time but this was by far the best time.
