Puerto Rico!!

I came back from Puerto Rico last night and it was wondeful. I was there for 10 days with my parents and sister. We arrived at the airport on a Thursday with some old guys playing some salsa music and that was cool.
Things I did:
*Went to the rainforest (El Yunque), hiked around and went swimming in a little lake with a waterfall with really cold, but refreshing water. I saw some lizards, that was it, no other animals =(
*Went to the beach
*Went to Old San Juan a few times. Walked around, ate street food, went to the old forts, shopped, visited some old churches
*Went to Guayama where my mom's family lives. My mom wasn't sure if they lived in the same place, but they did and they were surprised.
*Ate
*went to a mall called Plaza las Américas, it was a cool and big place

Things I didn't like
*a lot of traffic jams
*a lot of stray animals. Well it was nice there were a lot of cats and dogs you could pet on the street, but sad they were hungry and stuff.

Randoms
*The drinking age was 18 there, people didn't even ask me for ID, it was niiice.
*I love mofongo, it's so good! It's made from mashed fried green plantaines filled with meat or fish stewed in like a pepper and onion sauce mmm
*Puerto Ricans don't know how to make donuts...
*the boys were hot mhm
*The people are so friendly and fun there. Really laid-back too. They hardly ever rush and do things at their own pace.
*Even though traffic's bad and people do u-turns all the time, the drivers are pretty friendly and the roads are safe
*The weather was so nice, hot and sunny everyday. The day I came back was cold and rainy ugh
*When we were on the beach, my parents recognized someone from our city, he was friends with my mom's brothers and sisters. He was there with his wife and mother-in-law. He gave me some malta which is a drink made from sugarcane.
*Speaking Spanish again was pretty weird, it had been more than a year since I learned it. Surprisingly I remembered quite a lot and was able to speak it to an extent. Puerto Rican Spanish is weird. They don't say their s's, so 'qué buscas? (what are you looking for) becomes 'qué buca?'. I even started doing that... I was definitely speaking Spwenglish when I was there, saying stuff 'dame un påse por favor- give me a bag please, or yo vänto på minas padres- I'm waiting for my parents' I felt like Matilda and Gunn :P
*People thought I was Puerto Rican (really, not American Puerto Rican), people came up to me speaking Spanish and some tourists asked me if I spoke English and then asked me for directions haha.

Fun with Andrea
I met Andrea a few years ago on msn, we talked on there and became good friends. When I was in Puerto Rico, I told her I was there and she came to see me with her mom and brother and her brother's friend. It was soo nice to see her and we had so much fun! We walked around, talked, laughed, had a perchuga (sno-cone, but much better), and maví (a drink made from root). We had sushi at a Japanese restaurant and got drunk on sake. Ahh, we did some random stuff and had a lot of fun. I was so mad though- we couldn't take pictures together because my camera had broken the day before =( Te amo amiga!

RIP

Yes, someone I know died. I was watching the news today (a few minutes ago actually) and someone from my work (a fellow cashier) got hit by a school bus and died. It's so sad. It's so weird knowing someone died after seeing them a few days earlier. God...
