The Big Island

For the past three days, my dude and I have been traveling around Puerto Rico and loving it. Because of Ty's discount, we were able to stay at the luxurious Ritz-Carlton for he first two nights, treated like kings and queens. Ty has never had a relaxing vacation, so the first day, all I wanted to do was sit by the pool, relax, nap and enjoy the beautiful Ritz resort. Ty throughly enjoyed this part of our day and later we went to explore beautiful old San Juan. The old walls and beautiful buildings inside the walls of the old town completely stole our heart. Our dinner was amazing both nights. The second night we ate at a vegetarian/pescatarian restaurant which was phenomenal. We had recommendation to go to this place from the Ritz and were told to ask for the owner. Once we met her and her team, both Ty and I were amazed with the wonderful food and ambiance. We got some free dessert too!

Yesterday we went to El Yunque National forrest which was beautiful and tomorrow we think that we will explore there again tomorrow. Tonight however, we get to explore the bioluminescent bay on Vieques. Vieques is a beautiful island off of Puerto Rico where we are staying at an adorable hostel.

Can we move here? Can we stay longer? When can we come back?
Ty and I LOVE Puerto Rico and every place we have been. And the adventure is not over yet!

Red = Passion

Yesterday, I had a shit-eating grin as I was winding through local streets, pedaling and feeling the warm breeze in my hair. I recently, in the last month, moved to the DC area and have been struggling to fit in and find my place. This month, Ty and I got our own room in a place that we share with a few others that are our roommates in our new town. But there are still so many things that are missing in my life. I need yoga, rock climbing and freedom to get around on my own. On Tuesday afternoon, I took that first step at transportation freedom in the form of a two wheeled vehicle. I took the metro to Virginia which is a bit of a ride from my new home on the Maryland side. I stopped at one of the last metro stops and walked out into the sunny, nice weather. I was meeting someone from craigslist who was selling a little, red Schwinn bike. I exited the station and immediately saw the little red bike being held up by a sweet looking, older man. I introduced myself, took the bike for a...

To Brittian and Back

Today Amber, Dana and I woke up early to go on an adventure. 6:23 to be exact. How I know that is because Ty had to call me to wake Dana and I up from our very deep slumber. I sprung awake and got ready in record time to try to help Ty jump his car. Only it didn't work so we had to wake up my roommate to drive us all. The three ladies convened at the dock where our boat trip would leave. We were all a little tired but mostly excited for our long overdue adventure and being tourists for the day. We started our tip with about an hour long boat ride to Virgin Gorda, British Virgin Islands (BVI), the three of us talking about anything and everything that came to mind. Once we got to Virgin Gorda, everyone on the trip took a taxi over to the baths. The baths (BVI) are a geologic structure in which volcanic rock is pushed up near the water to create tunnels, pools, arches and grottoes. There are only two baths in the world, one being in the BVI, so it was super cool that we got to go...

Runners High

At 12:30pm, I stepped outside for the first time all day. I hadn't really even left my room until I realized that if I didnt go outside, I probably would bum it all afternoon. I put my running shoes on and bounced outside. I started walking and after I got myself settled, I started to run. After being cooped up, those first few steps of an outdoor run is so magical. The feeling of freedom, fresh air and adrenaline is fantastic. I always have a mad smile and excitement for being able to move so fast. After my first few minutes of running, thats when the exhaustion sets in. What keeps me going longer, is adventure. Do I like running? Not really. Do I enjoy exploring? Obviously. I decided to check out a new part of the power line trail that I have not seen before and ran up the hills, or on straight path, and walked down hills. I went to the beginning of the trail and back again, smiling at the other people who were also out for their afternoon walk/bike. The sun came out and it...
