Puerto Rico, Aricebo Light House


We spent spring break in Puerto Rico visiting Kirs, Rob, Rowan, Dylan and Amy. When we went to Aricebo the waves were amazing. It was just a little squall, but being a desert rat, I have never seen such huge waves! Rowan would scream with joy and excitment whenever a tall one hit. It was really something!
They had many of the decks closed due to high waves. Just as we were going to head up to the light house, a particularily high wave washed at least 10 feet higher than and over the walkway to the light house! I think that was the highest, but they didn't consider it high enough or maybe often enough to close the walkway.


We're heading back down to play on the ships, the Nina, the Pinta, the Santa Maria and the pirate ship. When Kirs and Rowan were on the pirate ship she told Rowan about how the pirates had to " swab the poop deck". Rowan got a kick out of that and added "swab the poop deck" to her vast vocabulary of phrases.
