Yesterday we went to Icacos. It was probably one of the coolest things I have ever done in my life. (I think topping it would be going to see the lava flowing out of an erupting volcano.) The waters were so clear and blue-- like, we couldn't touch but could still see all the way to the bottom. We had some snorkel gear... I swam out to the reef and saw some coral.... (Although I didn't snorkel when I was out there in the reef.... I was getting creeped out by the idea that fish were all over underneath me. But I am improving in this.... I actually touched seaweed!) Anyway, it was a lovely island and we were able to go for about half the price of what people would normally pay. (We went with locals who bargained the charter boat from $180 to $100! -- - split between 9 people isn't too bad right?)
So we get on the boat and we get our life vests on-- I was actually surprised they gave us life vests!
And were off! This was a tiny boat... I thought the ocean was going to eat it up..... or a shark was going to jump out of the water and eat me. Don't let this picture fool you! This part was calm. Later on the waves were too big and bumpy to have a camera out. I am still surprised we didn't tip over or something.
And we arrive in paradise....
Isn't it so beautiful??? Imagine--- not even many locals come to this island!
Here is a map as to our location:
You can't really read it, but its the island called Icacos to the very upper right hand side of the pictures.... with a green dot in it!
chillin out under my palm tree..... this is the life....
Eating some fresh coconut!!
AAAAAAND then we decided to go out and take a walk around. We wanted some latin dancing, but couldn't find any..
So we went home and watched a movie instead. Who knew it would be so hard to find SALSA DANCING in Puerto Rico??? Hahaha... ok, until next time!
