Day 9: Ponce

We've been in Ponce for 3 days now and it was far more beautiful than San Juan! There are montains in the distance any way you look!

This shot is from the 2 hour drive from San Juan to Ponce.


Here is our new hotel, the Hilton, from behind on a little pathway that we have walked everyday to go to the pool, beach, etc.


And here's our hotel room from the back sliding glass door.


Looking out the back sliding glass door and windows.



In the distance, between the gate and the grass is the pathway we walk (or ride bikes on).


From our back porch, looking sideways.


Walking the pathway. On the right side is the rock climbing wall, play ground, and then the gate and ocean. On the left side is the basketball courts, ping pong table, mini-golf course, pool and main lobby.


A more clear view of the activities on each side.


The beach, from the pathway.

Basketball court and mini-golf course (behind is the pool, fitness center, and lobby).

Ping pong table.

The fitness center was huge and it had bikes for free rental out front!

The kids riding the path on the bikes.

The pool.

After you walk through the gate door there are more beach chairs and umbrellas closer to the beach. This was taken at dusk about half an hour ago.

Here is the hotel's SECOND (and infinitly better) pool that is actually a part of a country club. The hotel has a shuttle that will pick hotel guests up and bring them here (it was only a minute away--if that--from our hotel but you have to cross a draw bridge so i guess that's why they prefer to shuttle you instead of walking.

Tomorrow is our last day here in Puerto Rico. We fly back into Tampa at 11pm. As beautiful and as fun as Puerto Rico has been I am definitely ready to get back home!
