I am tan, so tan. I love being this tan. I acquired that nice Carribean tan while in Puerto Rico. 
I swam in the waters. It felt so good to feel whole again. It rained only once the entire time. It started at 9:00 in the morning and it poured and thundered for only 2 hours. Then, the sun came out, and it was the most gorgeous day ever. There is nothing quite like the Carribean sun. I love it.

I indulged in many traditional Puerto Rican meals, too. I had not eaten real Puerto Rican food in some time. They have a few places around where I live and a few others around the U.S. that have decent Puerto Rican food, but they are all incomparable to the food you get on the island.

I went to La Plaza de Santurce where they have all these open markets that sell the freshest of fruits and traditional foods of the island. People just sit in the benches surrounding the market and drink, talk and eat for hours. Then, when the sun starts to set, different jazz and salsa bands play their music in the streets and there is dancing in the street and all around the plaza. That is how I would love to spend my every Saturday. I look forward to going back, because I do not go enough.

So, now I am trying to play catch-up with everything on my plate that I left here. The sad part is that I do not have any pending vacations
. I usually always do, but that could also change in a matter of minutes. I love traveling.
For now, I have my birthday to look forward to this Friday. The past couple of birthday's have not been anything worth mentioning. I guess the best approach would be to not expect anything from now on. But, my parents are in town, so I think they have something planned for me....

I wish I could tan. Instead I burn, blister, peel and then die of skin cancer. Go Australia!
