Back from the “Enchanted Island”

It’s been only 4 days, but this trip to Puerto Rico has injected with lots of new energies my overworked self. Achieving relaxation was a little tricky though, since we didn’t have too much time to plan the trip, and we had to improvise big time… like in the times of uninformed (or misinformed) adventure.

Too much information can take out the taste out of the experience. Too little may just as well keep you from enjoying the best a place has to offer. The main reason for our get away this time was just relaxation, getting some rest, and gather information for a longer future visit. There’s so much to see besides San Juan, so many beautiful places to go, so much to learn about history and life in Puerto Rico. Fortunately the island is not so far away and we can always go back, but never again with American Airlines, they know just how to give you grief…

Still, the balance is very positive. I lost the camera I took to Sydney, so I had to get a new one for the trip. I was reluctant at the beginning, but thinking on the near future I got an Olympus C-8080 Wide Zoom, which has a lot of good reviews. I have more than 200 pictures from the trip, and they are BIG (the darn camera takes 8 megapixel pictures!), so I need to edit them. Here are a few samples:
