PUERTO RICO!!

Helloooooooo! I found an internet cafe in Puerto Rico. I am loving every second of this trip and can't believe we are actually here. I feel like i've been here for a long time already and its amazing. My roomate is from Maryland and we are so close already. My room has no window so its hard to get up, but its okay :). So far in PR, we went to the bioluminescent bay and it was amazing. If you look it up on the internet, it can explain it but it is some phenomenon with plankton which makes the water glow underneath you if you make any motion it will glow underwater. It kind of felt like Fern Gully. Then yesterday we went to a house further away in a poorer section of the commonwealth which was a great experience because it was away from the commercial areas. Our friend built that house this summer on missions so we surprised the family. They cried and it was really touching to see how thankful they were when the house was about the size of our garages. Every person on this trip is amazing and has a great story to tell. I have a main group of girls and a few guys here and there (the ship is 70 percent girls :-( ) that we all hang out with. The food is excellent, fresh fruits salads and veggies!! Also, it is just like a miniature cruise ship. Everything is new and beautiful. Well i have to run, don't want to miss the sunshine!!

Brig! so glad you made it ok! im so jealous that you are in tropical weather with sunshine and beaches and oceans...while im in pittsburgh, with snow and ice and cold...BUH!
quick update on baby...i had my ultrasound and the fluid in the kidneys stayed the same again which is wonderful and he actually measured 30 weeks instead of 28 so that either means hes gonna come 2 weeks earlier than expected or im gonna have a big baby!!! EEEK! anyway..ill keep you posted!
Continue to have a wonderful time...miss you tons! muuuuuah!
