Arrrrrrribaaa! (Thought it was fitting)
Welcome back to GJU.. So sorry there's been a delay in posts. I was away in Puerto Rico for vacation, and for the sake of
actually relaxing and taking advantage of the vacation, I didn't bring my computer. Now that I'm back in Baltimore, I'm ready to share some of the pics from my stay.
Here's a sampling of some of the photos we took. Let me know what you think! Also-- if you've ever been to Puerto Rico, you know the pics of the weather/beach don't even do it half justice. The island is GORGEOUS.
Anyway-- the photo summary:
 |
| Before going to Old San Juan for dinner. |
Day one on the beach, I took a ton of scenic shots. Tried to pic a few to show on GJU!
 |
| Our footprints! |
 |
| Seriously, the clouds here were perfect. Fluffy perfection. |
 |
| Early morning on the beach. Never wanted to leave. |
 |
Sailor suit. Chips Ahoy! |
We went to the El Yunque National Park to go hiking, climb towers, and visit two beautiful waterfalls.
 |
| Right outside the visitor's center. |
 |
| At Las Cocas Waterfall on El Yunque. |
 |
| Obligatory Instagram Head Shot, yours truly. |
Back to the beach!
 |
| Sun tan day! Obviously we found the beach side bar :) |
 |
Be gentle with the comments. I'm no model, nor do I even exercise a little bit haha.
But-- I went to the Caribbean.. and bathing suits are appropriate gear for the beach. |
This next group of photos is all from the same night. We went to the El San Juan hotel (absolutely stunning-- it's a Waldorf Astoria property). Even in our somewhat dressy outfits, we were far under dressed in comparison to a lot of the women at this one bar. They were donning floor length gowns-- I was in heaven. Loved the dresses.

| Having some cocktails at the El San Juan before dinner at the next hotel. |
 |
| We had dinner at BLT at the Ritz Carlton in Puerto Rico. Delicious. |
 |
| This one painting outside of BLT was massive and beautiful. We needed to take a photo by it! |
We went to the spa one morning full some serous pampering. I had to share the robe and slippers.
 |
| Compliments of Zen Spa in Contado, Puerto Rico. |
 |
| A little blurry, but at dinner at Il Mulino at the Ritz. Best. Service. Ever. |
I had the
best time in Puerto Rico! This vacation is exactly what I've needed for a long time now. Way overdue. It's been a rough few weeks, and nothing is more relaxing than doing absolutely nothing while staring at waves.
Many thanks to @ChrisMinMD for allowing myself and my friend @Sushgirl to take over his beachside condo. I apologize if your home still smells like hair product, perfume, and sunscreen.
Excited for upcoming outfit posts. Keep on checking back :)
