Rainforest

If it's Thursday, it must be time to visit the rainforest. Joey, Kim and I went for breakfast at Denny's on the way to collecting Janet from the Holiday Inn in Mayaguez. Then the four of us headed out along the south coast to Ponce, before turning inland to the wonders of Toro Negro rainforest.

There is no way I can make words equal the beauty and variety of this place so I'll just let the photographs do the talking.

We had a wonderful lunch at a place almost at the top of the mountains. I had red snapper pastry parcels, which were delicious, along with papas fritas.. so, in effect, I had the Puerto Rican version of fish and chips :D

After lunch we headed for the beautiful 60m waterfall, before turning for home to get off the mountain before sundown. There is no way you want to be driving those roads at dusk or after dark!

Got back to the house about 8pm, exhausted but happy.

Topped the day off with ice cream and apple pie from MacDonalds!!
