El Yunque (Caribbean National Forest)

This is from the top of a tower somewhere in the rainforest. You can see the coastline in the distance.






Keith and I drove to the rainforest today. It was really unbelievable. The road up into the rainforest was intense. It was narrow and very curvy. There wasn't always room for two cars, and there is no such thing as right of way. Right of way means you win a game of chicken. Anyway, it was really beautiful. We were planning on hiking to two different spots, but we got rained on during the first one, so we only did one. I don't mean just a little rain. I mean soaked to the bone. There wasn't a dry spot on us anywhere. (It was like riding the grizzly river rampage at Opryland and then walking around in the rain.) We still enjoyed the hike, but there wasn't much of a view, only clouds. Luckily the rain stopped long enough for us to get some pictures.

It is still raining here and storming too. We're really close to the airport so we can see and hear the planes taking off. They haven't stopped taking off even though there's thunder and lightining. That really scares me for later this week when I fly out. I really hope it's not storming.

House update: I just want to add an update to this post. We have our walk through on Friday the 27th, and we close on Tuesday the 31st. I think we're going to try to get enough stuff moved during the day to be able to stay there that night. I can't wait to post some pictures of the house with us in it!!
