Fall Break Puerto Rico Day 3

We got up bright and early to head out into the ocean to go snorkeling! We stopped by Burger King to grab some quick breakfast. They didn't know English, so it was tricky. The breakfast was terrible...

Ready to go!

We found a few of these huge conch shells where we were snorkeling.

                      

It truly looked like paradise. 
We just couldn't believe how beautiful it all was. 

More shells. 






Seeing a sea turtle in the ocean is totally on my bucket list and we saw about 5 of them! Two different kinds. It was amazing. We also saw a sting ray (hiding in the sand so we couldn't get a good picture of it), star fish and a ton of beautiful tropical fish. 


Thanks to our GoPro we got these great pictures of snorkeling.













Jumping off the boat.




They had these super yummy suckers they gave us. 

Later that night we went to a restaurant near one of the activities we were going to go on. This was the cutest restaurant. 

We all agreed that Josh got the yummiest dinner and we all helped him eat it...He had salmon and it was so fresh and good. He also got mofongo so we could tell Lincoln we tried it. It's mashed plantain. Nobody liked it ver much...

This activity was incredible. At night we kayaked single file in the pitch black with just the light of glow sticks on both sides of our kayaks (sometimes the guides would show lights so I took a picture during one of those times). We kayaked through mangrove trees to a beautiful bay. The stars were so bright and they showed us constellations. 

It was so dark it's actually amazing we got some pictures. 
This was a bioluminescent bay. They had us put a tarp over our boats so it was even more dark and then we splashed water over our kayaks. The water glowed! It looked like sparks raining down on us. When you swirled your hand in the water it would turn white. One of the coolest things we have done. 

We had such a wonderful day!
