i am finally sharing my last puerto rico post today!  this is more of a style post since we didn't photograph much of the scenery in la parguera, which is always a favorite to visit.  we've visited this town before several times, once to see the bioluminescent bay and another to hang out by the beach and walk around.  we intended on taking a boat ride to mata la gata, but by the time we got there, it was too late to head out (as the uninhabited island closes at 5pm).  

so instead, we spent about an hour, hour and a half at la parguera, walking around, grabbing a few drinks and enjoying the live band that was playing in the center of all the commotion.  i wore my favorite dress from anthropologie (from last year, but i linked similar ones down below) and my favorite sandals (from a few years ago).  i love flowy dresses while on vacation, especially when it's super hot!  

thanks for following along with my puerto rico travel posts!  although all my posts were happy in nature, i was saddened to see the state that the island was in when we visited, some eight months after hurricane maria.  if you're planning a vacation, consider visiting this little slice of paradise (that is part of your country...if you live in the US).  they make most of their money on tourism and there are so many beautiful places to visit while on the island.  here are all of my puerto rico posts from throughout the years in case you need some ideas on where to go.  and there are also some great instagram pages like this one and this one to find cool places to visit.

hi guys.  i'm sharing some more images from puerto rico!  i'm almost done... i have one more set that i'll make sure to get posted this week.  although, truth be told, i love reliving our travels through blogging ;)

our time at crash boat beach was super short.  we had already been to a different beach that day (we like beach hopping) and we were starving.  it was a long, adventurous day but such a great day!  we had seen images of crash boat beach online and wanted to check it out.  of course, like it always happens to me, the beach itself was nicer in the images than we had anticipated ;)  i don't know if it's because we're so used to going places that are more "off the beaten path" so we usually have entire locations to ourselves and the beach this day was super packed.  or maybe it was because it was super cloudy over on this side of the island and we were tired and hangry.  either way, we walked all the way to the end of the pier, snapped a few photos and then went on our way.  

funny little side note (that i had already shared on instagram)...even though it was super overcast, i had a hard time keeping my eyes open to take pictures.  my eyes are naturally very sensitive to light, where junior's constantly reminding me to relax my face.  well, for some reason i just couldn't do it!  we were trying to hurry up with the pictures and i noticed junior getting annoyed with me so i just started cracking up!  i love having this little memory archived here ;)

hi guys!  happy saturday!  i'm back again sharing some more travel photos from la isla del encanto...

on one of our "exploring" days while we were in puerto rico, we set out to go to el tunel de gujataca.  as we were driving toward the tunel, we stopped at a "look out" (the island has so many of them!) and we saw the coolest view of the beach and the tunel next to it.  the pictures from this post were taken on the actual beach.  and the pictures from this post were taken by the tunel.  

i thought it would be fun to show a different perspective to where we were!  

i kept trying to lean against the cement railing but kept sliding off.  my sneakers had no traction!  ha!

hi guys!  back with sharing more puerto rico travel content.  hope you're enjoying it as much as i am!  i love reliving our travels by looking back at this space.  

one of the place that junior and i set out to visit was el tunel de guajataca.  i  had never heard about the tunnel but junior was convinced to take us there to check it out and shoot some pictures.  we got a little lost on the way and couldn't find the place.  we did eventually find a "look out" with a view of the tunnel and neighboring beach so we were all like "if we go this way, and turn on that street coming up, we'll make it down!"  i'll share the pictures we took at the look out in a separate post.  when we drove down to find the tunel, we first came upon this river/lake.  it totally looked like we were in a jungle!  i loved the palm trees growing out of the water.  there were a few people there bar b q'ing and swimming which was such a cute, secluded spot to retreat to!

the tunel itself was pretty cool.  apparently it is a remnant of the sugar cane era.  the railway was used to transport sugar cane from the farms in the area, connecting the towns of quebradillas and isabela. it was definitely worth the visit and the views of the beach on the other side of the tunel were beautiful.
