exploring San Juan

The day started with a quick trip to the Plaza Del Mercado, 

where we bought ingredients for dinner later that night.

No trip to Puerto Rico is complete without a stop at Castillo San Felipe del Morro

With a little help from Yamilet's mom, Stanley was able to visit the Governor's Mansion 

A visit to Rincon, Puerto Rico

We all decided to spend a couple of days in Rincon. Rincon, translated from spanish means corner, is located in the northwest corner of Puerto Rico and best known for its surf.
