I'm home! We left early Tuesday morning and got in late last night, exhausted. Our trip was very spur of the moment. No time for planning, barely enough time to book a hotel. We only went to San Juan. It was nothing like I expected it to be. I guess it's most like New York City. It's HUGE!!! All hustle bustle and it never sleeps. We arrived late Tuesday afternoon and just wondered around then went out to dinner. Luckily, our hotel was near the beach, so we spent a full day just doing the beach thing. I'm already peeling like a banana!! The next day was touring Old San Juan. How beautiful! The architecture on the old buildings is just gorgeous with lots and lots of balconies, dripping lush foliage and blooms. As we were shopping along one of the narrow streets, a large group of people (there must have been at least a hundred!) rounded the corner clapping their hands and singing. We were swallowed by them! They filled the sidewalks and the street and just kept clapping and singing. I clicked a pic, hung onto a car and just smiled and smiled. I don't know what they were singing, but they were happy and that made us happy too. The old city wall was first built back in the 1500's and looked so cool rising out of the turquois sea. We also toured Fort San Cristobal. Wow!!! It's definitely a must see. Then we caught the city bus to take us back to our hotel area, missed our stop and rode that darn bus for 2 hours, LOL!!! But it was a great way to see some of the city. There is a gigantic mall in San Juan. The traffic was just jammed all around it. It took us 45 minutes just to go around two sides of it! Oh, don't ever go to San Juan and think your gonna just rent a car to get around. Sure you can rent the car, but driving in San Juan is CRAZY!!! I will go back to Puerto Rico some day, but I want to visit the other side of the island when I do. I also want to go up into the mountains. Wow, there is just so much to see there!! Here are just a few pics (hope this works!)...

I remember when I went to San Juan, I was expecting the beautiful beaches and sand, only to find beautiful Water with lots of rocks. We stayed at the San Juan Hotel, and they did have a beach, it was awesome. Quite the photographer you are.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
