The bay at San Juan.
We arrived Friday afternoon and checked out the beach in the bay. The boys loved the waves and sand. After eating a delicious meal at a nice Mediterranean restaurant (the woman totally surprised us by bringing out little animals, paper and crayons for the boys, how fun!), we checked into a nice little hotel. I had met the hotel's owner the previous weekend at a women's retreat, and she had mentioned that she loves children and that her hotels give children special attention. The small pool, books and children's movies were a testimony to her love of children.
Saturday we went to a nearby beach, and played in the waves and checked out the tidal pools, finding little crabs that ran quickly across the rocks at our approach, and collecting seashells. The undercurrent was fairly strong, so we didn't wander out too far into the water.
Sunday morning we went to another beach, a smaller beach but just as beautiful. The waves were nice sized, but with less of an undertow. You can see Seth and Sarah riding the waves below.
The weekend was fun, although a bit tiring, since Nathaniel developed a nasty cough on Friday that kept him awake both nights, and both Steve and Sebastian came down with fevers on Saturday and Sunday. But we're glad we went and were at least able to see San Juan before we leave the country. And the boys definitely enjoyed the ocean!
