We had a layover in Puerto Rico so we took a cab to Denny's for breakfast and then walked to the beach...

10/08/07
we found our favorite brand of hard cider at the little convenience store on the corner...
10/08/07
and bought all 4 bottles. Little did we know they were the only ones on the whole island. For the whole week.
10/08/07
On the 8th, our actual anniversary, we rented a little car and drove across the island. The signage left something to be desired.
10/08/07
This was it.
10/08/07
on narrow little tree-lined roads
10/08/07
like this...
10/08/07
and me driving.... ON THE RIGHT!
10/08/07
our little "Jimmy".
10/08/07
Taking a breather, looking at the Atlantic ocean.
10/08/07
The Atlantic side is kinda rough water.
10/08/07
Looked like it would be good for surfing.
10/08/07
And there was a sign warning about the rip tide...
10/08/07
but it was pretty.
10/08/07
and so we decided to have lunch at a nice little place on the coast.
10/08/07
with a great view.
10/08/07
Mark enjoyed it as well.

then we drove on back to the Caribbean side.
10/08/07
and watched the sunset.
10/08/07
over a calm Caribbean.
10/08/07
then got a little dressed up.
10/08/07
for our Anniversary dinner.
10/08/07
at Bellini's. This is the view from there.
10/08/07
Then we walked across the little cove and ate dessert at Pisce and got a view of Bellini's.
10/08/07
Pesce was really pretty inside...
10/08/07
but very expensive.
10/08/07
Mark got a kick out of this sign. Especially since it was only open one day out of the 8 we were there.
10/08/07
The kitties on the island were very small.
10/08/07
And then I went diving on the 9th.
10/08/07
That's our hotel from the ocean.

and trunkfish, my favorite!
10/08/07
The little trunkfish seemed to be kissing the stingray, but I think they were just sharing lunch.
10/08/07
Then the trifecta: A stingray, trunkfish and turtle, in the same shot.
