The Emkos in Puerto Rico - Caliente!

This is a great week for our little family. Our old friends, the Huckanses, visited us in Denver and shared in a weekend of exhilarating snowboarding in Vail and Breckenridge. Then we all flew out to Puerto Rico for our long awaited vacation in the tropical sun (we went from ice and snow to blazing hot beach in a couple days - how often do you get to do that?).

Julia and I spent yesterday exploring Old San Juan, a beautiful peninsula that exudes Spanish-styled antiquity. Today we climbed through enormous natural caves in Camuy. Puerto Rico has some of the most lush, tropical vegetation, as well as some of the friendliest people I've encountered in a long time. We're trying to brush up on our Spanish, but luckily most of the people here seem to be bilingual. Tomorrow we plan to hike through the rain forest, and afterwards meet up with the Huckanses on the idylic resort island Vieques. So far, Puerto Rico is everything we could have hoped for. Hasta Luego!
