Today, we went on a boat ride to a private island (Icacos).  We charted a boat and had a 15-20 minute ride from a local PR marina to the island.  

The island was undeveloped and we were able to swim in the water and walk along the beach.  Margo and Mike used the snorkeling gear and saw some fish, seaweed, etc underneath a dock.  

On the boat, we had snacks of Crab Salad, oranges, watermelon, Ritz crackers, cheese, smoked meats, nuts and Oreos.  There was also plenty of water for us as well.






Dinner that night was at the Rincon del Faro.  (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/rincon-del-faro-fajardo).

We ordered a bunch of native Puerto Rican dishes which were delicious.

 Today, we arose early to meet Brian in the lobby. We drove for a tour of El Yunque Rainforest ( https://www.discoverpuertorico.com/article/visit-el-yunque-national-forest ).   It was amazing.   We hiked through a ton of mud to a river and went down a natural slide and jumped from an overhanging rock into a deep pool. So much fun.   On the way back, we stopped at Brunchy’s ( https://www.yelp.com/biz/brunchys-fajardo ). Good eggs and thick pancakes.   Brian had a guava and cheese fried turnover.     After returning to the resort, we spent some time in the Coqui waterpark. We went in the lazy river, on the waterslide and took a nap at poolside.   For dinner, we went to Edelweiss Restaurant ( https://edelweissbargrill.com/ ).

Travel day from Detroit to San Juan.   Cold and rainy to start the day in Detroit.  Flight to SJ was uneventful. Watched movies, listened to podcasts and relaxed.  After arriving, rented a car and drove to El Conquistador. It took about 1 hour from the airport to the resort.  We arrived very hungry around 5 pm. Had a snack of calzone and salad.  After freshening up, Mike tried a rum (Ron Zacapa) After dinner (Brisas Courtyard Cafe) and an ice cream 😉we went to bed early.
