Puerto Rico & Thanksgiving

 We just returned from an amazing week--first our "just the 5 of us time" in Puerto Rico, followed by an incredible weekend of family Thanksgiving.  In PR we endured the longest line ever for a rental car, loved the little neighborhood of Fortuna in Luquillo, went on the waterslides in El Yunque, found our secluded beach, tried to snorkel, enjoyed Jacobs PR shirt and pina colada milkshake, swam in the pool, watched movies, ate pizza, and visited Old San Juan.   We kayaked in the bioluminescent bay--Sender is an amazing kayaker, Hersh and his "new best friend" Scott had a great time, and AlteLu was with me---the kayak squeaky wheel.  We had fun but needed to be towed out by our friendly tour guide, Adrian, as the darkness made us crash over and over again! It was an absolutely perfect moment in time--even if we needed to keep refilling our car tire with air--low pressure!

We then arrived home Thanksgiving morning, and launched full speed into Lewis Family Thanksgiving--and loved every minute.  Lots of delish food and laughter!  Sender loved being with Reuben, we enjoyed hosting Shabbat dinner, playing games, thrift store visit, Wicked, El Golfo dinner, and just being together--what a treasure!
