    Oh man, I so want to go there! I have a lot of friends that live in Puerto Rico, too. So I really need to pay a visit before too long.

    So, how about the P.R. men? I know I shouldn’t ask, being married and all…but I promise I would behave…or try to, if I go for a visit. LOL

    It looks so wonderful and colorful, with lots of character. The perfect place for a hot tryst. :)

    Thanks for posting.

    Fantastic photos!!! Maybe one of these days, I’ll actually get of the boundaries of the US to go somewhere exotic like that.

    Tempest – WEEEEEPA back at you! Now I know where you live. HEHEHE

    Cass – Haven’t been to PR in years. I am remiss too. Have family in San Jaun. Really should go visit and then board a cruise ship and hit the high seas!

    We stopped there to catch our cruise ship and I wish I’d been able to stay longer. We’ll have to go back some day.

    Love the pictures.

    I’m going to have to show your TT to my son when he gets home from school. One of his friends is in the process of moving to Puerto Rico. This list will help him imagine where his friend is going. Thanks!

    Wow! Those are amazing pictures! The aligator is a bit frightening though! :shock:
