Puerto Rico, You Lovely Island!

I barely made it to vacation… I felt like my eyes were hitting the floor the last week of work, but before I knew it, I was on a beach in Vieques, Puerto Rico. 80 degrees… Tropical Weather… Holy shit! What the sun does for the mind!!

Here are some highlights from my trip.

I got to bike in 85 degree weather and felt like I was going to have a sun stroke!

Vieques is an island off the main island of Puerto Rico and was used by the military to test bombs during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Weirdly enough, Ricky Martin was one of the advocates who began in 2003 to pressure the army to leave. It now has a huge natural preserve on half of the island and is one my favorite places to vacation.

Wild horses run everywhere!

Here, Jeff decided to bury himself on the beach outside of the hotel.
