Final Day in PR

Day Six: Friday, January 15, 2016

In the afternoon, we headed to Pinones (think that's what it was called?) for a "local's day" near the water. I sat and worked from a restaurant while watching and listening to the waves, and then we had a snack at the Water Front overlooking the wonderful view.

I wish I lived in a place where this could happen more often:

That night, we packed up and got ready to leave to Guatemala - so sad that our trip to Puerto Rico was ending! Diana and I went and got our nails done, and then we had a drink before heading home.

We weren't sure we were ready to say goodbye to David and Diana, and our new friends Mona and Grommit:

As a final hurrah in San Juan, we went to Metropol, an AMAZING Cuban-Puerto Rican restaurant. I had the Ropa Vieja, which was by far the best Ropa Vieja I've ever had... everyone's meals were insanely good. But the craziest part of this story... we're sitting in this restaurant at around 10pm (late, even by Puerto Rican standards), and Brandt looks over to the table directly next to us, and then asks me quietly, "uh, Cat? Does that guy look like this guy?" He hands me his phone and shows me a picture of the CEO of his company (based in Denver)...

What are the chances that we would sit down in San Juan at 10pm for dinner, directly next to the CEO of Brandt's company, thousands of miles away from their office? Maybe 1 in a million. Anyway, we had a nice chat with the CEO and his partner, and then finished our meal - small world!

Anyway, thanks Diana and David for an absolutely amazing week in Puerto Rico. We couldn't have had a better time. 'Til next time, PR... tomorrow, off to Antigua!
