It was so nice to spend a Monday at the beach instead of in school!! We love 3 day weekends! Brent and I celebrated our first Valentine's day as a married couple on Wednesday. I woke up on Wed. morning to a clean house and a table of gifts that he wrapped. We went to a restaurant on the ocean for pina coladas and appetizers, then Brent made me my favorite meal for dinner. It was a good day. I am so lucky to have such a good husband!! School was interesting that day as well. We walked outside in the morning to greet our students and saw them carrying flowers, balloons, big stuffed animals, etc. We recieved so many gifts from them. We have chocolate to last a year!
On Thursday Courtney's cousin, Curtis, came to visit. He is studying zoology in Kansas. He was interested in seeing the many animals in PR. On Friday we took him to this spot where we heard you can see manatees. It was nice, but we didn't see any manatees. We then drove to Guavate to meet our friends from Chicago. Guavate is know for its lechon, roasted pig, so we had a nice meal. It was also nice to see the group again before they headed back to Chicago.
Hello Manatees???
The Girls
The Guys
On Saturday Brent and I had Casa Benny to ourselves. Marshes took Curtis up to Rincon to see the whales. They ended up seeing some, so that was good!! Brent and I went to Jobos bay to see if we could find any manatees...nope, but we did see some star fish!! We also went to a parade and festival in Arroyo, a town a few miles away. There were so many people there! It was really neat!

Today we went with the Marhes and took all the dogs to the beach! The dogs absolutely love the beach. They get to run around and play with eachother. All the dogs went swimming today. Winston and Benny are the real beach dogs. Lola and Miller don't really like the water that much. We also found 25 sand dollars. While we were sitting on the beach, a big iguana smacked Miller on the face with his tail. Curtis went and grabbed a towel and held the iguana. That is the first iguana I've seen here!!
