Puerto Rico & Café Con Leche
Had a wonderful birthday trip last year to San Juan, Peurto Rico with two of my good friends. Writing and coffee weren’t a huge part of it, but it was inspirational none the less. This is more of a photography filled post. The island has so many nooks and crannies that we weren’t able to explore, so I will definitely have to return.
In Puerto Rico people take their coffee with lots of milk. Café con leche is like a latté, but in a huge cup with a big scoop of steamed milk. Yum! This was my beverage of choice every morning with a toasted croissant.
Here are a few great places to take a mini Writer’s Retreat while you’re in San Juan.

During our trip we lounged by the pool, I don’t want to tell you where we stayed because I really wouldn’t recommend it, but it was a great deal. We took a car out to the El Yunque National Forest for zip lining with Yunke Zip line Adventure.
Geared Up!

The course is located just up the next road from the El Yunque National Forest a beautiful, 28-acre piece of land, high up in the Luquillo mountains. Not only were we able to zip line, we hiked and kayaked to the course. Such a wonder day trip and only $99 per person!
Later in the week we climbed the waterfall and went to the Luquillo Beach.
Made it to the other side!
An amazing bday vacation. For more pictures visit my Facebook album or instagram!
