Just in time for our one year anniversary, Doug and I have
finally found time for a honeymoon! 10
days in Puerto Rico. We rented a house
in Utuado, the mountainous region in the center of the country. Getting there was a little bit of an
adventure. Most of the roads were very
windy and only wide enough for one car.
Oh and did I mention that the inclines make you feel like you’re on a
rollercoaster! Anywhere from 15-20%.
Once you do make it to the house, which is on the side of a mountain, the
views are amazing!

We found a few friends around our house, like Nala, the
neighboor’s dog. (She likes to jump!) There are also a few horses that roam around
our road (Untethered?)
The next morning we headed off on equally adrenaline inducing
roads for an eco-zipline tour. One of
our tour guides showed up late, in crocs, and slightly hungover, but he was
very entertaining! Doug and I hiked with
our guides, ate random fruit that we found along the way, and crossed a suspension
bridge all before getting to the start of the zipline.
There were seven ziplines in all. It was a great way to enjoy the view. Doug even worked up to ziplining upside down!
I was just trying not to land backwards!
Doug made a few lizard friends on our way back to the truck.
Since driving around here at night would be close to a death
wish, Doug and I are sure to make it back before dark, to enjoy the views in
the hammocks, the occasional Redbox movie, and playing our new card game,
Samurai Sword. Since the game needs
three players, we enlisted Dr. Wembly!
Tomorrow we are heading to the Northwest coast for Doug’s
surfing lesson. I’ll be supervising from
the beach and will be sure to video his wipeouts (and any waves that he manages
to stay on his board for!).
