Matt and I really didn't do a whole lot the last two days. We had planned on going to the Arecibo Observatory and a cave system, but they were both closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. We had then planned to go to the island of Culebra, but I couldn't get anyone on the phone for a reservation. So, we just ended up driving around a bunch.
I do have to say that I forgot that sometimes the most relaxing thing to do is nothing. I've put a lot of effort into planning things to do, but one of the most relaxing was sitting on our balcony, reading a book and listening to the waves. We were also able to fall asleep to the sound of waves the last two nights.
We did see some interesting things, but the highlight was walking around Old San Juan this evening. It is really a romantic place at night. We ended up at a night club for dinner, and it made us both feel pretty old. I had a hangover as soon as I walked in (remembering my first trip to Puerto Rico...or not remembering, however you want to look at it). We then wandered around the city on foot and took in a lot of the sights such as the harbor, cruise ships, statues, displays, etc.
We've also benefited from being away from home and out of our comfort zone a bit together. It's good to get out of the routine and we've been communicating a bit more than we have lately. It's a good thing.
