.:Catching up with LIFE:.

Excuse my lateness in blogging. I have been quite busy. Since coming back from Puerto Rico, I have been studying, working and trying to get out of "vacation mode." But in two weeks, we are going to Lancaster, PA for a week to spend time with his family. So I guess back to "vacation mode."  Actually, this trip will only be vacation away from work, dieting and workouts. I still have to study (hard too), do plenty of homework for class and plan summer events.

Puerto Rico was definitely a FUN trip. It was great being with friends. Great food. Great weather. I would love to go back to Puerto Rico, but I would stay in a hotel on the beach in San Juan. Why, you ask? I didn't enjoy all the driving we did. And we wanted to see all the "tourist things." I want more time to relax, more beach, and more selections of food/building within walking distance.

A couple GREAT moments in the past month (although there were many!):

Zip Lining through the forest of Puerto Rico

Mofongo: is a fried plantain & chicken dish from Puerto Rico.

Tripleta Sandwich: Pork, Chicken & Beef 

Friends since high school

Desserts from Keefer Court in S. Mpls
Pork with straw mushroom, young bamboo & spinach 


It is a GREAT bagel!!

Seeking out pastries in San Juan, PR

Oh, the weight gain of vacation. I have not been able to loose it all. It's been tough. I admit I have been slacking off... So note to self: TRY HARDER!!
