el yunque

i am terrible for not posting in FOREVER!! but.....i am going to skip a couple posts...i will get back to them for sure..but the rainforest was so amazing and i know my family is very excited about seeing pictures so i am going to post them first and then get back to my other posts!


anyhoo...the rainforest-el yunque- was amazing....actually amazing doesnt even do it justice! i am used to living in boone and seeing "roocks" but the rocks we saw were so much more amazing!!
we went to there with our friend Tyler aka texas (he is from texas and forever wearing his texas longhorns hat!) who has lived on the island for about 3 years and previously lived in St. Johns for years. We caught the 6:30 am ferry to Fajardo, rented a car and we were off! Tyler had to go to Sam's Club ( yes there is civilization on the main island!) anyways after sams club we  were off to the rainforest!
we went to the south side of el yunque where tourists dont know about. but tyler first took us to this rock colony/ waterfall, i am used to Hebron(a rock colony in Boone) and it is amazing! But this place we went was even more amazing! We jumped off waterfalls into freezing cold water and climbed up rocks among amazing scenery!! :) we then went further up into the rainforest to another waterfall! we had to scale up rock walls and everything and it was soo great!! :)

anyways, long story short if you ever come to visit chris and me, we will be going to the rainforest! : ) it really was that amazing!  These pictures dont even do it justice! These pictures are also unedited straight from the camera. But here they are none the less

this is the first place that we went to and tyler swimming in the water as a scale to the size of these rocks!! :) 
this is me scrambling up the side of the rock cliff! :) Watching chris and tyler run up it before me was very fun...they looked exactly like monkey's!! : ) I of course did not look like a monkey, i was naturally very graceful......ok maybe thats a lie but thats what it felt like! ; )

sooo beautiful!! : )
