Borinquen Beach Aguadilla

As part of a long, fun birthday weekend (which we will post more about soon) we will start at the end. One of my new friends shares my same birthday and she wanted to celebrate it at a new-to-me beach in Aguadilla they call Borinquen. It is near Wilderness Beach which we also have yet to check out, but is definitely on our list as well. (For those unfamiliar with Puerto Rico, Borinquen is the ancient native Taino word for the island.)

To access this beach one must drive through the Borinquen golf course which threw us off a little. The beach, like all beaches in Puerto Rico, is open to the public. This golf course/beach is very close to the BQN Aguadilla airport and is just gorgeous!

The beach is nice, long and sandy with a sunset view. We talked and drank and snacked and overall enjoyed ourselves. Someone said it was a “Gidget Day” which I thought was a great name for it! 🙂

There are some rock outcroppings in the sea that appear to just float there. We are going to try and put together a floating party near those rocks hopefully someday soon.

We love Borinquen Beach and would highly recommend it for a beach party!

Reggae, Readings and Rejoicing in Greeley for my Birthday

My birthday was pretty fun. We went out to a late lunch with my parents and grandma to Farmer’s Inn in Lasalle.

Then, later that evening we went out to the Rio in downtown Greeley for some margaritas and live music. There was a reggae band and it was pretty cool.

Britton and I got our tarot cards read from a lady across the street. It was pretty accurate including that we had some “delays” (AKA Puerto Rico). Since it was my birthday, she gave me a tarot card to keep. I pulled the King of Cups which means I have one or more strong, supportive and loving men in my life (both my dad and Britton). She said I was the Queen of Pentacles and good with money. Together we (the King of Cups and Queen of Pentacles) work well together.

We had made plans to go out salsa dancing and meet some friends over at St. Michaels’ event center, so we headed over there around 8 or so. When we got there it became apparent that we had left a pretty cool party with live music for one with only about 20 people sitting around listening to a dj, so we went back downtown.

We danced to the reggae band and my friends dedicated a song for my birthday. We stayed there until it closed and then headed across the street to the Penalty Box and hung out there for a while more. It was a very fun birthday.
