Some of the highlights of the trip was the fact that we were able to experience a lot of new foods and flavors. The unknown fact that we didn't know about Puerto Rico before going there is that every thing there is fried. We don't use the term "everything" loosely, because all meals, breakfast, lunch, and dinner, have something fried. This is a good thing for a meal or two but after a few days, we were looking for anything that resembled a fruit or a vegetable.
We visited this row of kiosk, also known as heart attack alley for lunch one day. It was 41 kiosk of anything and everything all stuck in deep fryers and sitting under heat lamps. Probably not the most sanitary place that we have ever eaten but hey - it's all about the experience.
One night we were able to go on a nighttime kayak tour. In Puerto Rico there is a body of water that has some microorganisms in it that will glow if there is movement around them. So you paddle out through this huge tunnel of mangrove trees to the lake, and once there you stick your paddles in and it is like a glow stick everywhere around you. There are only about five places in the world where this can be experienced and it was really cool.
It is completely dark and the only thing that guides you is a small light on the boat in front of you. Needless to say there were some pretty crazy times as we are not the best paddlers in the world, but we still made it through it and were still smiling at the end.
