Puerto Rican Paradise

I got to to with Marlow for a job interview in Puerto Rico. We stayed in the Marriot Courtyard in Aguadilla. It is in a gorgeous part of the island. The interviews were in a neighboring town of Isabella. So while he was being grilled, I was enjoying the pool.


After he finished up for the day, we drove to the beach in Isabella.


The rock formations made me feel like I was on another planet.
The rocks closest to the beach were very eroded and jagged.




We climbed the rocks farthest from the water to see what was on the other side, and found this eddy. The water was slamming into the rocks. It was absolutely gorgeous.




The waves would break on the plateau jutting out into the ocean. I could watch waves all day.




After we walked on the beach Marlow wanted to show me the town of Isabella. It is about 12,000 in population. We were weaving our way through the streets when we spotted the missionaries. One Elder was from Guatamala, and the other from Peru. We followed them to the church. I'm sure glad they took us, I don't think we would have ever found it with the GPS.






On Wednesday night we showed up at the church for youth activities.
It also happened to be Ward Council. It is a branch with about 40 members.
The RS pres speaks english, and all the brethren me met that night spoke english.
Isn't it great that no matter where you go you have an instant family.

Wow! It looks so different from what I have ever imagined Puerto Rico looking like! It looks amazing! While you were enjoying the pool, did you go down that fun looking slide?! I bet you didn't, but you should have!! I hope you had a fun trip and that things went well! Tell Uncle Marlow good luck with everything! Keep us posted on things!
