Happy Friday!
Let's go somewhere for the weekend! How does Puerto Rico sound to you? :)
On my last Travel Destination post, fellow blogger, SiSi requested that we go to Puerto Rico, so here we are!
I've actually never been there, so I am going along information I read online. If you've been there, please share with us by leaving a comment! :D
Okay... let's go!
El Morro in Old San Juan:
Garita at fort San Felipe del Morro:
They have really beautiful beaches:
Corcho Beach in Vieques:
Isn't the water gorgeous?
Puerto Plata:
We can also go to Puerto Rico's rainforests and see such natural beauty as this waterfall:
Just a few of the activities we can do:
boating
whale watching
We can also visit historical places like the Cathedral of San Juan Bautista:
Okay, now, what about food?!
Puerto Rico's cuisine is known as Cocina Criolla - African, Amerindian, and Spanish influences.
Alcapurrias - mixture of yautia, ground squash, plantains, green banana, filled with ground meat or seafood and deep fried in oil

Does anyone know what the name of this dish is?
What about this one?
This next one is Mofongo - made from fried green plantains or fried yuca, seasoned with garlic, olive oil, and pork cracklings... usually served with fried meat and chicken broth soup.
Plantain "arañitas" and "tostones rellenos"... looks really yummy!
So, that's about it for our little trip to Puerto Rico. I'm sure I missed tons of spots to go to, places to shop at, activities to do, and food to eat, etc. Please feel free to share!
What other spots should we visit? What else should we do while in Puerto Rico?
