The Best Trip

I went on vacation to Puerto Rico by myself in 2005. I visited family and friends for a week. I enjoyed sightseeing in San Juan, the capital of Puerto Rico. I went with a group of friends to see the fort of San Felipe del Morro. It has been around for almost five centuries. It was designated as a World Heritage Site in 1983. We also visited the Bacardi Rum Distillery, the largest in the world. There, they re-create the history of the Bacardi family and the production of Bacardi rum. Another place that we visited was El Yunque, the rainforest in Rio Grande. It is the wettest area of Puerto Rico and is good for walking or serious hiking. There are popular trails, peaks, and pools of water leading into remote areas. Going south of Puerto Rico, we also visited a castle named El Castillo de Serralles. This is another historic attraction, where the The Serralles family were the first to produce rum on the Island. A couple of days , my friends and I went to the beach. We had a blast. The weather was great the whole week, no rain at all. We also went to one of the casinos there in Diamond Hotel and Casino...no luck, didn't win anything.

I had a wonderful time with my grandma. She cooked a delicious chicken soup. I got to see my aunts and my uncle from my mother's side. It has been five years that I haven't seen them. I stayed at my mother's whom I haven't seen for some time. The time was wonderful. I went to see my family and friends again before I came back to Ohio. It was really enjoyable. I enjoyed my family, friends and time so much that I am looking forward to going back soon.
