Saturday started with a trip to "El Yunque", the local rain forest. I later learned that "El Yunque" means "The Anvil" (another good nickname?). We spent many hours hiking around the anvil. Lots of rocks and trees and green. We heard plenty of birds and frogs but didn't really see any wildlife. Tim and I would hear frog and/or bird noises and imitate it back by whistling. By the end of the day we were pretty sure that tourists were just in different parts of the rain forest whistling at each other, thinking that birds or animals were responding.We climbed a ton, and got to the top of a few peaks. I left my camera back at the apartment but the crew took some swell photos. I think they make it look cloudier than it really was, and don't truly capture how high we really hiked. We were able to get a grand view of Puerto Rico and the entire rain forest.
Making our way down from the peaks took awhile, but then we found our way to the waterfalls and splashed around a bit. I only dipped my legs in- It was cold!
