Life on the Island...

After the chaos on campus Thursday night, I decided to get away with a bunch of other exchange students to go to the beach. We went to Isla Verde on Friday, which is a popular hotel/beach area in San Juan.








Since Hurricane Bill missed us, we still got huge waves on the coast where we were on Friday as effects of Bill. We had a lot of fun getting beat up by the waves, even at like waist-level water!
We stayed on Isla Verde until it got dark (which here means like 7pm, ha) and made human pyramids and just had a good time.

Then on Saturday, we went to a beach in Old San Juan, which is called Escambron. Escambron looked like it was out of a movie, it was so gorgeous! and of course, my camera was dead there so I don't have pictures of it yet. It was clear water, and the beach curved around so that on either side you looked, you saw old Spanish forts.

Escambron was absolutely packed, because it was saturday, and I think this is probably one of the most tourist-like beachs because of the scenery.
