Puerto Rico: Final Recap

After our informative walk tour of Old San Juan we just wanted to relax by the pool so we headed back to our room, freshened up, changed into our swim wear and ordered some passion fruit mojitos.

While we swam, a rainbow appeared out of no where and it surprised us both because it had not rained. In fact, the last time I saw a rainbow was the day after my mom passed away. We are convinced that this was my mom’s way of wishing us a happy 10th year anniversary on our wedding anniversary day.

Our walk tour guide recommended that we go to Sofia’s Italian Steakhouse for dinner and it did not disappoint. It was SO good. I ordered a shrimp in champagne cream sauce that I wish I could dunk my whole face in. Our food was just amazing and so was our service.

After dinner, we met up with Cinthia in Old San Juan and popped in and out of several places, enjoyed some dancing and multiple passion fruit mojitos. The drink of choice this trip. We went to La Taberna Lupulo, Rivera Hermanas Café & Teatro Rest, La Sombrilla Rosa and La Factoria.

The following morning we planned for a relaxing beach day. We started with an incredible breakfast at Musa. The décor in this place was stunning and I could not stop taking pictures. I honestly don’t think we had one bad meal while we were in Puerto Rico.

After breakfast we drove to Pinones, Puerto Rico and relaxed at the beach for a few hours. Cinthia recommended that we drive to Pinones as there are so many restaurants on the side of the road and it’s all pretty much fried which translates to delicious. We had just eaten so we didn’t get food right away.

We decided to beach hop a little and went to Playa De Isla Verde and really loved the atmosphere of this beach. We stayed here much longer, relaxing and reading the books we brought with us.

When we got hungry we ventured back to Pinones and picked up some amazing food that we had to order a second time.

We went to bed early that day and woke up to the most glorious sunrise. I couldn't help but to snap a few shots as the light seeping through our room was just perfect. These pictures do it no justice.

Since we were up rather early we decided to work out at the hotel gym prior to leaving Puerto Rico. After the gym we got ready for the day and quickly packed up our suitcases. We had our last breakfast at Panaderia Espana. Another incredibly delicious meal and so well priced!

At the airport we were surprised to find that we could actually buy something at the duty free. Puerto Rico is so convenient. You don’t have to exchange money and you get to shop at the duty free. We picked up a nice bottle of scotch and got it engraved to read ‘Puerto Rico 2019 10 year anniversary.

We had such a great time in Puerto Rico and both cannot wait to go back.
