Next stop: Monteverde. Hooty hoo! We wake up at an ungodly hour after dancing all night at the discoteca in order to wheel our suitcases (yes, suitcases) down a muddy road in order to hop on a boat (with T-Pain) … Continue reading →

Posted on February 1, 2011 by erinparker75

Vieques – day 2

Posted on January 24, 2011 by erinparker75

Due to hangovers and my illness we woke up super late, like 12 NOON (gasp), and tried to swap out our Yaris for a Jeep. You can guess how this story ends. We stayed in that Yaris the whole time. … Continue reading →

The ferry to Vieques is FREEZING!!!! Seriously, all of the locals are wearing sweatshirts and pants, and Tina and I walk on in our flimsy summer dresses. Huge mistake. When we arrive, this is how the island greets us… The … Continue reading →
