We arrived on Thursday afternoon and spent the day walking around Old San Juan. Then drove the hour and half to the town of San Sebastian where Pedro's extended family lives.
We stayed at his grandmas house. The house had no air conditioning, which made it quite hot during the day. But at night we slept with just a bed sheet and two fans going...but it did get kind of cool at night (or we got use to it). The shower also did not have hot water, instead it was cool. But since it was so hot it wasn't too bad.
Friday, we went to the beach where we rented kayaks for a while and then sat on the beach. Pedro got sunburned and I did not. Mainly because I believe in sunscreen and he thought he would not get burned. I tried to remind him that he hadn't been in the sun since last summer, but he didn't listen and he was burned. We left when a rain shower was approaching. We went out to dinner with his dad that night.
Saturday, was a LONG day. It started with the girls, Pedro's mom, sister, and brother's girlfriend and I getting our hair done. While Pedro helped his cousins bring the final stuff to the reception area. After that Pedro and I went to have my FAVORITE ice cream for the third time (lol) and a sandwich. Which I am glad we ate so close to the wedding time because they didn't serve the food until almost 800!
The wedding started at 200 and after the ceremony we went to the reception. They had this AMAZING band...they were great entertainers. They would be singing and you wouldn't realize half the group was gone and they would come in the door with a different outfit on and singing a different type of song...like one time they came in with mariachi clothes and sombreros on and started singing mexican style songs. It was a long night, we didn't get out until about 1100pm. But it was fun.
Here are some pictures from the weekend.
