JFK>>San Juan

Last weekend I took a quick trip to Puerto Rico to celebrate Father's Day with my dad.  Seemed like PR was happy to see me because the weather was beautiful.  The beach days were sunny and the waves were calm.  I'm kind of sad to be back (shocker) but can't complain that I get to go there to visit family.  It's like mandatory vacation every 6 months.

  

VIDA. 

 At Oceano, getting a Pina Colada.

Sangria at noon.  It's happy hour somewhere. 

 

 Fresh squeezed OJ, thanks to this miracle juicer.  It must be like 15 years old,and works perfectly. 

  pretty.

Peach and berry cobbler from Cooking Light. By far the BEST cobbler recipe. I go back to it time and time again. 

Unintentional mix-match. 

 El Livin, tucked away in the heart of Parque Luis Munoz Rivera- Highly recommend.

Naci en Latitud Perfecta...

So I'm back in New York City with a bittersweet feeling. I love this city but I can't help but feel sad of leaving my family and friends back home in PR. I was lucky I was there for almost two weeks.

The weather was perfect. It was hot, sunny and breezy. Basically the polar opposite of NYC. I got back today at 9AM (mind you, my flight was supposed to leave at 3AM) and was soon graced with a lovely wind chill factor of -1. Toasty!

Below is a medley of pictures from my trip. Enjoy...
