Columbus Day weekend was a busy couple of days. My roommate Mandi's mother came to visit so we did a bunch of stuff with her and her friend. Let's see Friday we went to Ponce to watch some live music outside in this park. The music is called Bomba. It is pretty much like African dancing. Saturday we went to the rainforest El Yunque. It is the only rainforest owned by the United States. It was awesome. Although it was a rainy day, we still got to do everything we wanted. We took a trail that led to Las Minas waterfall. The waterfall was so cool. I have never seen anything like it before. Because it was raining the water was really powerful so we had to be careful, but we still got to get in the water. The water was pretty cool but it felt good after hiking up hill. After we left there we went to Fajardo to the bioluminescent bay. This is the place where tiny micro-organisms glow in the bay. It was so amazing. To be continued...
