Last December, a former coworker of mine invited me to come to Puerto Rico, where he had found a new job with the Forest Service.
While most of my time was spent exploring the El Yunque National Forest, I also had the opportunity to visit several beaches. The most notable beach out of the bunch was Flamenco Beach on the island of Culebra, where I snorkeled for the first time in years and got one of the worst sunburns I have ever had in my life.
Still a great trip, but not likely to visit again anytime soon.
Here's the photos.
