Vacation! Blog #5

The one spanish speaking country that i feel is a good vacation spot is Rio Grande, Puerto Rico. the hotel we stayed at was the Rio Mar, its was GORGEOUS! The air fare is only $351 ( one way ) so figure $702 per person. but back when we went in 2005 so air fare was $800 for our family of four. The hotel stay is 3966-464 a night depending on the view, season and room. Things we did there was we went to the saint Cristobal fort. It was so amazing to see the old cannons, and the dungeon. Another thing we did is we actually went to the Bacardi rum factory it was awesome we got a chance to smell all the different smells of their rum and how they make it. Also we went shopping in San Juan it was so pretty there but very busy people wise. But for the most part we stayed on the beach and walked around. The rio mar has amazing pools with slides. Everyday at a certain time they would have water aerobics, also there was a smores with a huge bonfire. Another thing we did was feed iguanas  but you had to be careful of their tail and they rean really fast, instead of deer crossing signs they had " iguana crossing". The hotel/ beach had really good entertainment we entered a sandcastle contest it was really fun. They also have great places to eat! but for this overall trip we spent was about 5,000 for 8 days 7 nights. the cost to stay there now would be almost 12,000.   ( sorry all of our other pictures are saved on a dvd)
