We arrived in Puerto Rico a week ago and have been busy getting on with the teaching and getting settled in to the Martens' apartment (Thanks Ralph and Roxy). Today I had my first day off so we decided to take a drive and see some of the island. We drove west from Caguas up into the central mountains. Very narrow roads, closely hemmed in by the verdant vegetation including lots of bamboo, but stunning vistas when we finally got to the top. We found this little road-side restaurant and had some mofongo (fried plantains chopped up with cracklins). It was a fun excursion and was Marlene's first time to get away from the house except for a couple of grocery trips. Maybe next time we'll try to get to the coast somewhere.
