Hi everyone! Today is our last night here at Puerto Rico. The whole trip has been a great experience. My favorite part was walking around Old San Juan. I loved to see the narrow streets and the different culture. Visiting the Castillo San Felipe del Morro fort was so beautiful. Reading the history from throughout the fort was extremely interesting. Today, we visited the rain forest. Our tour guide was highly educated on many facts about everything in the rain forest. One of the most interesting facts about the rain forest is that the trees do not age. The trees here do not form rings inside them because they never lose their leaves. I am very grateful to have the opportunity to travel here and compete in games. Happy New Year!!!
