We were in Puerto Rico for a quick weekend mileage run/first wedding anniversary celebration, and were looking for something active to do.  On our honeymoon, we had been into the El Yunque Rainforest, but due to time constraints, we didn't really see too much.  We took the opportunity for a short, laid back climb.  It turned out to be not too hot, and the humidity was a welcome change from our usual dry Colorado-ness.





We hiked El Yunque the day we found our we were pregnant with Bug.
