Saludos del Caribie
Well, it's been six days now and it's been a great time. Except one thing... it is almost impossible to get around the island without a car! I've seen some awesome beaches and Old San Juan is beautiful, but I don't think I will get the chance to go to Culebra or El Yunque. We'll see, I might just bite the bullet and rent a car.... I can't believe how dense the population is on the island and there is no good public transportation. Trips of about 10 miles take around 1hr in car!
Well enough of that, this week I got a chance to go to "El Morre", "El Forteleza", "Casa Rincon" and walked "El Pasao del Princessa". I have to say that Old San Juan is super cool, the hilled colonial streets and white churchs. Sounds a lot similar to the streets of South American streets but they have a different feel to them. The green and brown earth colored walls give it a distinct look. Today I am in the Department of Education using free internet, thanks to all the tax payers! My plan today was to go to El Yunque, but I missed the excursion group by about 30 minutes and a taxi would cost 120 dollars! I can rent a car for that! And the crazy thing is that El Yunue is only like 20 miles from Old San Juan. I guess I'm just used to South America were my US dollar holds more thunder and travel is much easier and less expensive.
It's been raining off and on today, I was hopeing to walk over to the fields of "El Morro" and lay out in the sun. It's beautiful out there, the green grass, sun overhead and constant crashing of the waves agains the 300 year old wall's of the oldest and largest strong hold in the carriebien. I wanted to finish my book today and there is nothing better then laying in the hot sun reading and napping.
I've really been rambling, I guess it's becuase I have a lot on my mind. School ... my broken car .... DuPont ... I hope all goes as planned, I pick up my car, drive back to Lansing, crash in my apartment, wake up, go to class: Wed - Thurs, Friday drive back to Saginaw and pack up my car and move all my things to my Lansing apartment were hopefully my offer letter, and all my Delaware refund checks will be waiting for me. I also need to get a letter from The Rehmann Group to see if I will be working or not, I was told that it should be no problem but things can happen.
Well I think that is it for now, I'm going to go get some lunch and read my book. Hasta Luego!
