Three day weekends are the best!! Actually, we kind of had 4 days off, because Friday was just an inservice! After school on Friday we went out with the teachers for the opening of a new restaurant ( yes, us teachers do go out a lot....we are all having a pretty crazy year so far!) On Saturday one of the teachers invited us over for a pool party at her house. She lives up in the mountains in a beautiful house. We swam and played dominos! It is very Puerto Rican for everyone to be sitting around playing dominos while listening to music and drinking rum!
Today the "Casa Benny Five" decided to go on a little road trip venturing to the other side of the island. When I talked to my dad tonight...he asked if there were still things that we haven't seen or done yet on the island. It is a small island, but there is so much to do...and YES there is lots we haven't done yet!! One of those things was visiting Cabo Rojo and San German, which we saw today! San German is the second oldest city in Puerto Rico. We were amazed at what a beautiful and clean little town this is. So many neat buildings and history in the town. The church that I took a picture of was built in 1606!
After San German we headed down the highway to Cabo Rojo...well first we stopped along the side of the road for some pizza!! Cabo Rojo is amazing! The cliff-side views of the ocean were so beautiful. We hiked around for a while, tooks lots of pictures, then jumped in the ocean because we were so hot!
Such a fun weekend!! Hope you all had a great Labor Day!!
