Our Adventure

Today, we had to drive to Ponce to pick up some school clothes for Beanie. We decided to take the drive that was off the beaten path. Along the way, we saw some cool scenery and stopped at a local flea market. The way back provided us the opportunity to meet some cool people.

These are some pictures we took on our way to Ponce.
Beanie missed the sights on the way to Ponce.

There is a fruit grown in Puerto Rico called the quenepa. It is delicious. There are a lot of people throughtout the country that stand on the side of the road selling them. Kim absolutely loves them. However, instead of learning Spanish and calling them the correct name, she has given them her own word - YumYums. She now has the kids saying this word too. Pictured here is Kim leaving me for the quenepa man.

On our way back to Guayama, we decided to stop by a golf course to scout out the place my dad and brother will receive future thrashings. The first person I met at this course/resort was Chi Chi Rodriguez. We talked for a little bit, and come to find out, he was once stationed at Fort Sill in good ol' L-Town. Once Kim and I told him we were from there, an instant bond was made.
