Hi PM Style Pals. If you follow me on FB or Instagram, you are surely bored by now with all of my Puerto Rico pictures and videos. Still I thought for those of you who missed some of the pics and fun, this would be a good place to share our 4 days in Paradise. (Also, since I’m struggling to reintegrate into home life and can’t stop thinking in Spanish and moving in beach time, it seems fitting this would be the theme of my first PMS blog since coming back)

Here’s my Top Ten List of pictures and moments…

1. Room With A View - This is how our trip began, opening the door to our room and gasping at the view. (I don’t mind admitting that I am secretly bitter some people get to wake up to this everyday. At least I’m honest.

2. Our first night there, we had sushi while sinking our toes into the sand and admiring the sunset...

3. This is my favorite picture from the trip, Joe took it on a whim when we stopped during a bike ride to check out the view over the ocean cliffs…

4. We celebrated our 2nd wedding anniversary on this trip…

5. One of the most incredible parts of the trip, was the spa. I got a Treehouse massage, they also offered something called a Hammock massage. The Spa was the most beautiful thing I have seen, truly a religious experience, beginning with a tree outside that looks like it could have been planted in the Garden of Eden.

6. Possibly my second favorite photo from the trip was something so simple, sandy feet. (PS: what you can’t see is me sipping the most incredible, gloriously authentic Pina Colada. Real Pina Coladas should be white, not yellow, and they smell like a coconut vacation.)

 7. Don’t laugh, but I became obsessed with bathrooms on this trip. In Puerto Rico they are tropical retreats that invite the outside, in.

8. Catedral De San Juan is the second oldest cathedral in the Americas. During an excursion into Old San Juan we ambled inside and I somehow always gravitate to the prayer candles. They are so powerful and beautiful.

 9. Each day it was a real tug o war between, “should we do beach, or pool?” (PS which are you, bc I think I’m more the pool type) I decided to include my knee in this photo so no one could claim I stole this picture off line after googling “perfect pools in paradise”

10. Last night, last toast, what a trip. We are already planning our return. Muchisimas Gracias, Puerto Rico! Te Quiero!

I hope you enjoyed the virtual trip to Puerto Rico! Join me Monday Nights for PM Style and if you missed anything so far, check it out here and follow me on Instagram here!
