We got up and had another great breakfast made by John. We packed our stuff and then headed out for Minneapolis to our mid-point. We arrived at our hotel and headed to Mall of America to eat dinner, and visit the Lego store.
We went over to El Yunque rain forest. They have a visitor center, lots of hiking trails, and a few waterfalls to visit. We did a quick road side lunch and there were some great times admiring the beauty of the area.
We spent the day touring the two forts in old San Juan. One had stone areas that began construction 550 years ago. Pretty amazing to see and quite an engineering marvel. We ate lunch downtown old San Juan at a place called Fatties which was Caribbean/soul food that was quite good. It was a small hole in the wall place that the 9 of us could barely squeeze into with one lady cooking/working. We had fried chicken and a stewed pork type plate with rice and beans, plantains, and a salad. On the way home, we plotted a location close to Laquillo beach to eat dinner name Beachriders where we had some fish tacos with a terrific guava hot sauce. Got home last night about 9pm. Fun day.
We awoke, ate breakfast, and loaded up for day 2 of driving, and what a drive it was. We saw such a change in countryside today and there were lots of ooooo's and ahhhhhh's from the boys as well as a lot of picture snapping out the windows. It was another long day on the road, combined with stopping for pick up of groceries, but at 10pm our time, we arrived in the camp ground. It meant tent and gear setup after dark of course, but we got it done. This morning temperature 34. High today of 81. Definite temperature swings.
