Michigan Sis and her Hubby arrived Friday night as planned. Yesterday the three of us headed out for a full day of fun. Our first stop was the Guanica Dry Forest, which we decided should be renamed either the Blast Furnace Forest, or the Sauna Forest. Being sharper than the average tack it didn't take us long to figure out why everything is "dry".
The forest is a home to a unique blend of cactus, hearty trees that apparently need little to no water to survive and colorful birds. All the pictures are trapped on T and B's camera, so I'll post some shots when we can free the shots.
Following this sweaty hike, we went to my favorite spot, to La Parguera. We met up with a number of other people who are down here working on the Big Project for a snorkel outing and trip to the bioluminescent bay. (For those of you that are share holders, this type of activity is funded not by Sun, but by our own wallets...) with Paradise Scuba and Snorkel.
A good time was had by all. The group went on two snorkel reef tours, hosted by Orlando and Christopher, and Cachi was my dive buddy. We toured the depths of the reef while my family and work associates bobbed on top. While this was my third trip to the Bioluminscent Bay, last night was by far the most spectacular. The sky was overcast so the emerald and green sparkles were even more intense. The night was topped of my a few songs at the local Karaoke joint. I refrained from singing, but couldn't stop my happy feet from dancing.
(Note: another reason I love PR is that if there is music, people dance....just in place, with their friends, or while shopping. 
I also had a great time in Parguera, while snorkeling and going on the nigth trip to the Bioluminscent Bay this past 6th of aug.! I also had the change to meet Orlando, and Cristobal was my snorkling buddy, very funny and nice people! The empanadas from Mrs. were also very good. This experience was the highlight of our one-week trip to Puerto Rico. I miss it and will probably go back pretty soon!

Amazing flowers, bushes & trees fill the dry forests of Guanica; Puerto Rico as an unseen world of nature. Guanica is heaven for bird watchers filled with 600 rare species of birds. Some of these species are exclusive to Guanica. From adventure seekers to tourists relaxing on Copamarina beach, which is “beautiful beyond wild dreams”, everyone is gonna be mesmerized with its magical yet natural charms.
