Another good one

On Sunday, we forgot to live in Sunday and more than once drifted off to the departure date of Tuesday.  No one wanted to go home.  (well, that is not totally true, Owen wanted to go home for two reasons.  1. he missed school and 2. he missed our car).  You know it is a good trip when you make it from Monday to Sunday and still all like each other.  It had been everything that we had anticipated so far.  (Well, that is also not entirely true, after Ben twisted his foot earlier in the week, things got worse for him on Friday.  While we spent the day in our conference, the rest headed to Old San Juan.  We received a text or two that Ben was sick and couldn’t stop throwing up.  This made him stress out and then have a panic attack.  Back at the hotel they sent up a dr. who promptly gave him a shot in the butt, which made him sore for days and made him sleep.  My dad was worried he was going to sleep and drift off into a coma.  Well, lucky for Ben and us, he made it through the night and woke up refreshed after a 14 hour slumber.  So, with a twisted ankle and a painful shot in the butt, Ben’s trip took a twisty turn from good to bad to good). 

Angie, Ben and Eric went off to go caving on Sunday, while the rest of us hopped in our 14ish passenger van to visit Old San Juan again.  Ivy could live her life in a 14 passenger van with no car seat.  She was in heaven as she roamed from row to row.  I swear I tried to keep her still, but it was a choice between pinning her down and tormenting the rest for 45 minutes, or let her roam.  For better or worse, she roamed and roamed and wiggled and moved and climbed and wiggled and moved.

After arriving in Old San Juan, a few minutes in, it started to rain and pour.  We were drenched as we walked the cobblestone streets looking for shops and enjoying the day. 

We ate dinner at a so-so place, found and enjoyed some ice cream, did a little shopping and made our way back to the hotel.  For some strange reason by that time, Senor Greg was a natural and actually seemed quite comfortable in his new driver position.  Perhaps a 2nd job? 

Oh how enjoyable it was to free from my seminar and back to the fun.
