Sketching At The Caribe Hilton, San Juan, Puerto, Rico

      Arriving at the Caribe Hilton was absolutely wonderful!  I kept telling my husband, "This is just what the doctor ordered"!  I needed to de-stress from my daily life and schedule so that I could start the cruise off on the right foot, so I had a massage that night, that got all the knots worked out of my neck and also spent a few minutes in the steam bath and the sauna.  Then the next morning I joined the group for yoga on the beach.  Ahhhh! Yes, this is just what the doctor ordered!
     The Caribe is a great destination spot.  One thing I learned when we stopped there two years ago for another cruise is how to make infused water
with lemons, melon or lime. They have the decanters full and ready to drink freely.  I now do this on our hot summer days and love it!  We enjoyed walking by the water and feeding schools of fish bread that they keep out in a bucket. They have a huge bird cage with macaws and cockatoos in them and I was trying to get one to talk, and I finally I heard in a bird voice, "hello", then a moment later I could have sworn I heard, "my butt".  The man with his little girl heard this too, and I said, "I think this bird is saying something inappropriate" and we just walked away!
     But, all good things must come to an end.  The next day we were heading out, and we found ourselves with time to wait in the beautiful, expansive lounge.  Here, I found other people just waiting around, and amazingly, holding great poses!  Here is one woman, who was just sitting there, arms crossed.  I wanted to be sure to discreetly take a picture of my model so you can see my reference.  There is another one coming!
