my husband!


I love water!








the water was amazing.
look at the color of it!!





after snorkelling we went to this private island beach


lots of ships in port today!


one fish. two fish




blue tropical fish

we bought an underwater digital camera in St. Thomas
for our first snorkelling excursion we only had disposable underwater cameras BUT
It was really sunny and the reefs were SO CLOSE so I am hopeful some of those pics will turn out!!!


me...underwater!
It is like swimming in a fish tank!



t

shopping in downtown Nassau, killing time until
our excursion started


"Sue Nan"
this pic is for my aunt and mom =)


approaching Nassau



We were supposed to be going to Grand Turk but the water was too rough so they changed it to Nassau. It was disappointing at first but we made the best of it. We ended up doing a second snorkelling excursion and had to give up our scuba diving adventure! Oh well. Nassau to me felt the least friendly of all the islands. Our excursions started and ended late and had too many people, felt unorganized... It definintely was enjoyable though...

more Old San Juan....




view from our balcony as we are leaving Puerto Rico

the fort in Old San Juan


love the colorful buildings...




lots of narrow streets filled with colorful buildings that are mostly restaurants and shops!


my FAVORITE are the blue roads!!!!

Lots of old world charm. Would love to go back and spend more time here!
Did not have enough to time check out the beaches.... I will definintely do that next time.
