Puerto Rican Flora and Fauna

Rain showers come and go easily in Puerto Rico so we decided to take the car for a ride about the community instead the golf cart. This gave me a dry retreat in case of a downpour.

When not raining, I was able to get a few shots of interesting bits around us. Above is the Antillean Grackle apparently in a mating or territorial display.

Puerto Rico

After out short excursion in Glasgow, we loaded up for a flight south to Puerto Rico. It was a long day. We went through security in Glasgow (of course), again in London when we changed terminals, once more in London at the gate when they decided that we won the lottery to have our carry-on inspected, again in Miami when we came into the US and boarded our flight to Puerto Rico. Lordy! We felt really secure!!

So, on this trip we've been as far north as 55.9 degrees in Glasgow, as far east as 3.6 degrees east in Grenada, as far south as 18.5 degrees in San Juan, and end up in Snohomish at 122 degrees west. Even though the trip from Glasgow to San Juan was shorter than a flight from LAX to Melbourne, the terminal changing and frequent safety checks made our travel day feel like we'd had all that travel in one day.
