Day 5 of Trip

As we woke up at the crack of dawn to drive to the Cincinnati airport, we were tired but excited about our trip to Puerto Rico. This trip was to photograph the wedding week of Pam and Ibo who were getting married on an island off of Puerto Rico called Vieques.

The island was beautiful and lush, but before I get ahead of myself let me tell you about our flight from Puerto Rico to Vieques. Below is a picture of the plane that we had to take from the main island of Puerto Rico to Vieques. The plane holds 8 passengers and is not pressurized and is very loud. I love to fly, but this really tested my love of flying.



However small the plane was, we made it to the island and were in a tropical paradise. We stayed at Villa Corals Guesthouse and our hosts were fabulous! It felt like a home away from home. Here are a few pictures of the Guesthouse and the surrounding area.

This is the porch of the Guesthouse where we spent many mornings relaxing and enjoying the breeze.


The Guesthouse also had an upstairs area where you could sit back, relax, and enjoy the views.


This is a view from the upstairs of the Guesthouse looking onto the lush greens of the island and a huge house that sat on top of this hill next to us.


You could also see the ocean from our Guesthouse and take in even more sights.


The clouds made wonderful pictures throughout the week and this is a view from the upstairs of the Guesthouse down the street and across the street.




We also had some guest that liked to sit with us on the porch of the Guesthouse enjoying the sun and breeze as well. This guest's name was Mr. Lizard.


Check back tomorrow for Day 6 of our trip and exploring the town of Esperanza.
