On Thursday we checked out from our hotel in Isla Verde and headed down towards Guanica. We met up with my parents after the first toll booth in Caguas. We figured that we'd drive down the center of the island, through the mountains and stop at Ponce to have lunch and see some of the Ponce things. We drove by the house that we used to live when my sister and I were little, then we drove to the plaza where El Parque de Bombas is. It's like the only famous thing that Ponce is known for, an Old Fire Station. Of course it started raining so we jumped on a tourist trolley for a fast speed tour through historic Ponce. The guy was literally speeding trough town telling us about the things that we had already passed. At least we weren't getting wet.
Eventually we got to Guanica and the place we were going to be staying in for the Fathers Day Weekend, Mary Lee's by the Sea. It's a Fantabulous (yes i made it up, it's my word) place with a view of the blue sea and the little island we would be going to the next day for the beach.
It was a really nice time. There was a town fair one night, and we drove over to the Bioluminescent Bay in La Parguera. Definitely worth the trip.
On Sunday we left Mary Lee's and drove to Yauco to have Chuletas Can-Can. It's huge Pork Chops, and sooooooo good. We said good bye to my parents around 1:30 and drove back to San Juan the long way around. Up the coast through Mayaguez, Aguadilla and through Arecibo.
We checked into our final hotel room, the Sheraton in Old San Juan, and headed straight to the pool, on the roof.
