Things I learned about Puerto Rico after spending the weekend there:
* The island is TINY! We drove from one end to another in about 3 hours.
* It's more Americanized than I ever imagined. I've never seen so many McDonald's one right after the other.
* The island is the only home to the coqui. It's a tiny tiny frog/lizard, about 2 inches long and is a light brown color. And it makes the loudest whistling noise. Listen to the video!
* ALL the women have muffin top. No matter how skinny they are. b/c they all wear jeans a size too small. TIGHT.
* I didn't see not one XXXXXXL white tee shirt on any guy. They all wear nice fitting clothes. Unlike the women.
* I love reggeaton.
* The clouds calculated the exact moment Merlyn and I decided to get some sun. As soon as we were ready, they'd come out and make it rain on us.
* The beaches are the shit.
* It's humid as a mother fucker.
* Puerto Rican beer sucks. Puerto Rican rum is the boooomb!
* The people are beyond nice and helpful. We got the best directions we've ever gotten, and everyone was so sweet.
* El morro was cool. Here's a pic of me looking out from the fortress
* Flying standby SUCKS. We actually had to buy a ticket home b/c the Continental flights were severely overbooked. Next time we're just going to buy tickets.
* Merlyn fell in love with Kiko, the coqui. Here's a pic of her showing him some love.
I can't wait to go back!
