Happy Friday world! It is I, Janaya Feaster and I am reporting to you from esj Tower hotel in Puerto Rico. Sadly, we are leaving in a few hours to come back to negative degree weather :( however, my time here in Puerto Rico was definitely enjoyable. Our hotel was right behind the beach so every morning after practice the team went straight to the ocean to lay out and swim. We also toured El Yunque Rainforest and that was pretty interesting to see the different scenery throughout the park. There was a waterfall in the middle of rainforest and some of the team jumped in to take a picture and stand il under the falls so that was a cool experience. The water was freezing however so we didn't stay in there for too long. My favorite take away from this trip was the bio luminescent bay. We kayaked in pairs through the dark bay and as we were paddling, we could see the plankton glowing in the water. Overall, it was a fun trip of learning about the Puerto Rican culture.
