Hola Mis Amores!

Me encata Puerto Rico! Katie and I woke up at 6:30am Feb. 7 to see the sun rise over San Juan was the Explorer slowly made its way into the dock! AMAZING! I couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to our first port. Soon after, we were greeted on board by the governor of Puerto Rico! He is a younger man, and interacted with the student audience very well. In my global studies class I have already learned a lot about Puerto Rico, and the interesting political relationship that they share with the U.S. Next, we went though customs and got off the ship and right on to a bus for a city orientation. We spent some time at Fort San Christobal, got to go inside the capital building, and walked around the colorful buildings of Old San Juan for lunch. I have been speaking Spanish constantly since we have arrived and just having the best time!
