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!

Dear Old Friend

Dear old friend, I think about you a lot. As I go about my day I think about how something might make you laugh or say aloud an inside joke that no one understands. I smile as I remember a fond memory. But then I go about my day. At night is when I think about trying to reach out to you again. About what I should have said or what I should say to try to understand why we are no longer close. I come up with scripts in my head about a letter I should write you or a voice mail I should leave, so you know how much I miss you. Sometimes I get angry. Why did this friendship not last forever like I was sure it would? What did I ever do to be treated this way? How could you just leave me alone? Do you even care how I am? I ask myself these questions over and over. I get mad. Then I think. I think that you must not have done this to hurt me; sometimes people just drift apart. That you probably think about me sometimes too. That perhaps, sometimes you smile at an old memory we share. Gut...

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...

Guatemala: Bathroom

11/7/2015 11:56 am The bathroom views are amazing! I took a poo yesterday looking out at the lake and volcanoes in the distance. Absolutely stunning. I dont mind taking my time in the bathroom with views like that! 11/8/2015 3:36pm We had a day of exploration in San Marcos today. First the group of girls went to hang out by the lake, Lago Atitlan. It was very rocky, like a cliff-side almost. Not like a beach at all. But we climbed down the rocks to check out the water and it was cool, but not cold like lake Michigan. I put my feet in the water and soaked in the morning sun.  Its SO fun to chat with all the ladies here. I feel like Im a part of something and they all have such interesting things to say. I want to know all about them! 9:45pm This morning’s yoga was taught by one of the girls in my group, K. I love taking classes by people I know because it brings a whole new level to the experience. She came around and did excellent adjustments and it was so calmi...
