Puerto Rico: pools, palm trees and posing

Yo! It's my birthday today (28!), and I'm feeling less than festive because of TIRED (jetlag) and SICK (crappy Belgian weather), so I'm going to try to cheer myself up my posting some Puerto Rico shots of the pool/beach area around the Condado Plaza Hilton, and yours truly chilling in said locale. Whenever I had some time off from the conference, you can bet your ass I was sitting by the pool taking in the sights (along with some piña colada). Just what I'd need right now. Let's keep things sunny and simple!

Ah, when I look at these pictures I can almost smell the sea, feel the wind in my hair and hear the rustling of the palm trees. Not pictured: how ridiculous my boyfriend and I looked while scrambling up this rock, and the toe I stubbed while elegantly (not) prancing in the shallow ocean water. That was extra ridiculous, because the water was so clear I could actually see small, translucent fish swimming around our feet. And still I managed to stub my toe. Faut le faire. Pretty sure the locals on the beach were rolling their eyes pretttty hard when they saw us making a fool out of ourself to get a nice shot, but after so many years of blogging you really lose any type of shame a normal person might have in the same situation.

Btw, the soles of my feet aren't orange because they are crazy calloused, that's just dirt and sand OK.

I think I cheered myself up a bit. Signing off!
