April 2023 -Caguas Botanical Garden, Paddleout Celebration, Butterfly Festival
April 2023 was a busy month as well. Lots of fun times on the farm and a few adventures of of town such as to the beautiful Caguas Botanical Garden. We also enjoyed some times with friends including some who came to visit us from Colorado. Unfortunately a friend of ours died while surfing and we attended her paddleout ceremony. Life has such a strange highs and lows. Aeden is growing up quite the jungle boy and can catch just about anything around the farm from chickens to geckos and spiders. We also enjoy going to our friends annual butterfly festival in support of the endemic butterfly Atlantea Tulita.
We love and miss you Toni!
March 2023- Hatillo, Rincon, Guanica and Farm Life
By March we were back into the swing of our little island life. We visited a quaint spot in Hatillo called Villa Madera and nearby spots in Utuado, went to the Volkis Fest and other car shows, kept growing lots of flowers and fruits, and took a trip to some new beaches and spots in Guanica. A nice month in Puerto Rico!
January 2022
We love Cabo Rojo and especially this area by the lighthouse. We spent a day at the pink salt flats and Playa Sucia dressed as Mama Shark and Baby Shark!
Later this month we took a trip to the deep mountains of Orocovis, one of the highest altitude cities in Puerto Rico. Here we stayed at a little house that had a waterfall in the backyard! We had a great time playing in the river even though it was super chilly water since it can get much colder high in the mountains especially in January. We also climbed a mountain called Cerro Mime which is named that because of all the gnat flies at the top. But what an incredible view!! We also took a looong hike in the rain through the Toro Negro forest to the tiny little tower at the top.
Closer to home we finished an adventure we had started back in August 2021. We returned to Charco Carmelas in San Sebastian with some friends to walk up the river and find the twin falls! This is quite an adventure as you have to swim through canyons and walk literally in the river to reach the end point where there are two waterfalls side by side. The river was a little dry compared to when we first found the river in August, but it was still super beautiful!
We spent some time at home at the farm planting and harvesting flowers and fruit, at the beach with friends and other spots in our daily life routine. We also went to a funeral of a good friend and neighbor which was heartbreaking.
