a room with a view: san juan, puerto rico

me on ambien for the red eye.

pretty sure this was my favorite leg of the trip.

check the pictures of the hotel we stayed at because the best part about this joint was its beachfront. they had their own little private beach complete with cabanas and perfect sand.

okay so most of these pictures were taken by colby and we have recently realized how fetching awesome our camera is. some of these do it justice and i will be sure to point out just how artistic we attempted to be. this is the fort in old san juan. this was america's first defense against anyone coming at us from the southern hemisphere. tres cool. unfortunately was closed for visitors by the time we arrived, but we got some great pics of the outside.

ps the water was beautiful. graveyard pic below showcases nicely.

this is me being sweaty and humid after trekking all over old san juan for... oh i dunno... like 2 hours while we looked for a pastelería (bakery) to get us a nice puerto rican treat. we ended up back at the restaurant at our hotel where they have this smokin hot chocolate cake with strawberry sorbet. literally smokin hot - "caliente chocolate cake".

we found the coolest little niches that were crying out for artistic portrayal.

sunset.
surprisingly early, like 7 pm.
and san juan got scary quickly afterwards. they let the freaks out at nighttime i suppose.

tomas being photogenic. he is brooke's hubs and the best ping pong player we know.

see! this is the beautiful ocean! bury me here!

brooke modelling for an anthropologie catalogue. what you cant see is the fetching steep drop off at the edge of her feet. she is a scout.

colby at the fort again - apologies for the messed up timeline of photos.

the girls at the fort doors.

mikey! the jet blue employee living the dream. literally, he just decided to join us for our short day in san juan because he can fly for free - he says its like taking the bus for him practically. anyways, we called it even because he rented the car and charmed the locals and we let him crash at our pad.
