Puerto Rico: Las Pailas


We tried to find a different place to swim every day. Sometimes a freshwater, sometimes beach, and some days we managed to hit both. And every place was even  better than the one before! What a trip. Las Pailas involved a little hike/climbing over giant granite boulders, but we did it. One side had some places for rock jumping and waterfall you could stand under (that I took zero photos of RIP but it was breathtaking), and the other side had a natural waterslide on the rocks. This was WILD. A little rough and I avoided it so I wouldn’t bang up my still-healing broken toe, but had serious FOMO when the kids and Aaron did it. I was super proud of Sloane for being brave and going on this. She will jump off cliffs and swim…and she’s a crazy snorkeler and diver out in the ocean, but the slide was scary for her and she bravely went with Logan. Corbin also doesn’t love thrill seeking activities like cliff jumping, but he did the all rock slide and rope swings and cliff jumps at least once..some more than others. This trip offered just the right amount of risk taking for everyone in my family.
