So much fun yesterday!

(This post has lots of pictures, and a video, to make up for my lack of media in the last few days.)

Yesterday was a pretty incredible today. It started at 9am with Gunner knocking on our door (bad news), because he wanted to tell us we were going jet skiing (very good news). So we got ready, and headed to the water. We went to some little hidden cove place, which was actually really beautiful, and camped out right on the shore. The place we camped out at had a gorgeous view:

We didn't waste too much time enjoying the scenery though before hopping on the jet ski. Gunner took Fed out first, then he took me out, and it was awesome. But then Fed and I went out by ourselves, which was even more awesome. I drove first (of course), and then Fed had a turn to drive. I've decided that jet skiing is the most awesome thing on the entire planet. I want a jet ski.

After some bbq'd hot dogs, we went another round on the jet ski, only this time we drive alone. The water got a little choppy from the wind, and that combined with the freedom of riding alone, made it SO much fun. I can't even describe it, but what I can say is that it is impossible to not smile while riding a jet ski. =)

There was a sunken barge right off the shore (which you can see in the picture above), which we snorkeled around, and saw TONS of awesome sea life. Tons of colorful fish, these cool squid, sea urchins, prawns, this lobster/crab thing, and a humongous baracuda-like fish. Snorkeling might be second on the list of most awesome things on the planet.

We actually found tons of living creatures all over. Besides all the fish and stuff in the water, we found a giant starfish, some big crabs, and a few iguanas! They're pretty giant, and they would come right next to our tent to eat Pringles (who knew?). lol Overall, it was just a super fun day down at the coast with the Pedersens.

Iguanas just all up in our business to eat our Pringles. Pretty cool.

After getting home and unpacking from the beach, we all showered and got ready to head to Condado for dinner. Condado is a pretty cool little city, and the street we were on has some hopping night life. We ate at some nice italian restaurant, which was pretty delicious, and very filling. After dinner, we walked down the street a little, and ended up at a Hilton, which had a big room when you walk in with lights, and music, and people, and festivities. The room was really stylish and cool, and there were clowns, mimes, people on stilts, gold statue people, and other interesting forms of entertainment. It was pretty entertaining to watch, and be a part of:

There was also a sick DJ in an awesome suit. His headphones were actually like a space helmet that plugged in on back of his head. He had like a stormtrooper suit, with a neon LED light vest, and glowsticks around his ankles. He looked like a boss. He was a pretty good DJ, and we would dance along with his mix. He was so much fun to watch. You couldn't watch him and not just smile a little to yourself. Check out just a little taste of what he had to offer:

So basically we just hung out in the lobby of the Hilton all night, listening to live DJ music, and watching the ridiculous circus all around us. It was pretty bizarre, and definitely super awesome. You had to be there.

So yesterday was for sure one of the highlight days of our trip thus far. Today we'll probably lay low, and plan out how to venture to the East coast tomorrow. We're hoping we can get a ferry to Culebra or Vieques tomorrow, in which case we'll be living on those islands for the next few days. =)
