When in Rome [AKA PR]

Hello friends. This is Alissa Munro coming to you from 39,000 ft in the air. We're on our way back from Puerto Rico haaaayyyy. This week has definitely been one for the books. We got there Saturday night and started off the trip walking around clueless trying to find a place to eat. Sunday we had practice at 9am and then had the rest of the day to just hang out at the beach. Monday we had our first game against Tufts...but we're not gonna talk about that. After that we had some more time to go shopping and just hanging out at the beach. Tuesday we had practice and then took a team trip to Old San Juan, the oldest city in the US. We got to see the old forts and walk around the city. The view from the top of the fort we went to was breathtaking. Wednesday we played again vs. Emmanuel and won by 1 in OT. It was so cool to play in a different country and coming out with a W was even better. We got to celebrate New Year's as a team which was also very cool. Thursday we went to a rain forest and got to swim in a waterfall --so now I get to cross that off my bucket list. That night we went kayaking in the Bioluminescent Bay, which may have been one of the coolest things I have every seen. The plankton in the water glowed if you stuck your hand or the paddle in. To get to the big lagoon we had to go through a little channel and me and Janaya only crashed a few times lolol. Now it's Friday and were on our way back home. It's definitely bittersweet. Leaving the warm weather and beach is hard to do when you know you're going back to the freezing cold. 

So there you have it...a basic rundown of our once in a lifetime trip.

That's all for now folks,
