These were my favorite set of pictures we took in Culebra.
Every day I would put my fins and mask..and I would snorkel away the reef for at least an hour. There was something so peaceful about...I couldn't hear anything but the sound of water....this is definitely paradise on earth!

Estas fueron las fotos más divertidas que tomamos en Culebra.
Todos los dÃas yo me ponÃa mis chapaletas y el snorkel y me iba un rato a nadar por los corales...definitivamente estabamos en el paraÃso.
Favorite method for adventures around Culebra? Trucks!
I wore this for a night at the town with our friends. Jeans were definitely a must for all the mosquito attacking along the way! We watched the sunset and ended up stopping at a couple of bars for a typical drink in Culebra called Bushwacker.
Happy Saturday!
The second day in Culebra, we headed to Culebrita (like little snake, yes)...which as you can see, it is SO beautiful. Even though, I tend to "fight' with all my puerto rican friends that Los Roques in Venezuela is 1000 better (hey, google Los Roques, Venezuela...and tell me if you do not want to get a ticket NOW!). But yes, both are gorgeous <3
This day I was in charge of making breakfast, so I did one of the few things I actually know how to cook...venezuelan arepas for 10 people (which were 7 puerto ricans, an American, and a Ecuadorian). I ended up doing like 20 arepas, way more than I have ever done. I also brought tons of flash tattoos for the trip and all the girls and I played arts and crafts and put tons of them on...well, I made the guys get at least one too. So here are tons of more pics from day #2!!

El segundo dÃa fuimos a Culebrita...una playita espectacular de Culebra. Yo siempre "peleo" con los boricuas porque digo que Los Roques en Venezuela es mucho más espectacular que Culebra... ambos son espectaculares pero para mi, Los Roques siempre va a ser tener las playas más bellas del mundo.
Este dÃa fui yo la encargada de hacer desayuno, hice arepas para 10 personas- ¡¡y obviamente más arepas de lo que nunca habÃa hecho!! Y antes de salir, todas las mujeres nos pusimos muchÃsimos tatuajes metálicos... y yo obligué a los hombres a ponerse algunos (tal vez ven el de Gaby al costado!). Aquà van más fotos de nuestro dÃa en la playa...¡BESOS!!
Okay, it's time to start getting back on track and share the tons of pics I have from our crazy trip. Well, you guys already saw some from Puerto Rico (and some from California...I've been a little all over the place...just to clarify, I'm in Miami right now haha) I already shared some pics from "Viejo San Juan)" and from Cabo Rojo- both in PR. But after a week with Gaby's family in Puerto Rico, we headed to a small island on the east side called Culebra with out closest Miami friends. I cannot even explain how amazing this trip was, we went there in 2013 (check out all post from Culebra 2013 here) and Gaby went again for his Bachelor weekend last year. But this time, there was something different...maybe we have gotten closer over the years...maybe the group was even better than last time. I honestly even had withdrawals, I missed them so much when we left.
The first day was a little crazy, with a lot of traveling, picking friends from the airport, going grocery shopping, heading to the marina, and finally leaving to the island. Culebra is an hour away from Fajardo, a city on the east side of Puerto Rico. We stopped at "Cayo Luis Peña" which is SO SO gorgeous...just look at that water! We jumped, had a lot of fun...the pictures are a mini-summary! Hope you enjoy them!

Okay es hora de empezar a ponerme al dÃa con todas las fotos que tomamos durante nuestro mega viaje. Ya vieron las primera de Puerto Rico, mis favoritas fueron las de San Juan (y otras más también el Viejo San Juan) y las de Cabo Rojo. Ahora seguimos con las de Culebra, Puerto Rico. Si me siguen desde hace mucho tiempo, puede que recuerden el viaje que hicimos con nuestros amigos en el 2013. Esta vez fue aún más increÃble, no se si es porque fuimos como amigos nos hemos unidos más aún con el pasar de los años. Pero les juro que cuando se acabo el viaje, me sentÃa como cuando era chiquita y regresaba a mi casa del campamento (y extrañaba a todos mis amiguitos).
El primer dÃa fue un maratón, de casa de Gabo salimos a la casa de nuestros amigos...de ahà al aeropuerto a buscar a otros que acababan de llegar de Miami y de ahà a otra ciudad, Fajardo, a una hora de San Juan pero primero parando a hacer mercado para nuestros 4 dÃas en Culebra. Y finalmente nos fuimos a la marina y arrancamos a Culebra (la cual es una isla a unos 50 minutos de Fajardo- el lado este de Puerto Rico). Antes de llegar a la casa donde nos quedamos, paramos en un cayo llamado Luis Peña, hermoso HERMOSO, donde pasamos toda la tarde. Les dejo abajo unas fotos que resumen un poco nuestro primer dÃa. ¡Espero que les gusten!

And here it is, the final post from my trip to Culebra, Puerto Rico- like I said, I tried spreading them out so I wouldn't be in a swimsuit all the time. This was our last day in Culebra- we woke up early to spend the morning at the pool, eat, and pack. Then we stopped at a beach before heading back to San Juan. In the early morning, I wore this gorgeous white bikini- I know it isn't for tanning...but we just wanted to chill before packing. Then I changed into a blue bikini (plus tons of tanner) and a cool blue turban. Finally, in the boat and car, I wore polka dotted green shorts and the "i like you shirt". I hope you liked this photo diary. XOXO!!

Y aquà está el último artÃculo sobre mi viaje a Culebra, Puerto Rico- como les dije, quise esparcirlos para que no fuesen tantos posts seguidos de playa. Este fue nuestro último dÃa en Culebra; nos despertamos temprano para aprovechar el dÃa en la piscina y recoger. Luego nos fuimos a la playa y de ahà seguimos a San Juan. En la mañanita quise utilizar este traje de baño blanco- que no es el más apropiado para broncearse pero la idea era estar en la casa tranquilos. Luego me cambié a un bikini azul para terminar de broncearme un poquito más- y lo combiné con un turbante bellÃsimo de tonos azules. Para el barco y el regreso utilicé unos shorts de lunares y la camisa con "I like you". Espero que les haya gustado este diario de fotos de mi viaje a Culebra. Un abrazo inmenso!!

A couple of days before our trip to Culebra, we got a little worried because of the weather forecast...it said we were going to have thunderstorms every single day. Thankfully, it wasn't like that- the only day that actually rained a lot was this one... a Sunday. Even though we couldn't go to the beach, we had so much fun playing board games the whole morning. After lunch we headed to the "town" since a couple of our friends were coming back because of work/school. You have no idea how stressful it was, the ferry was full and there weren't any flights... we spent hours and hours with them making sure they would find a way back home! In the morning a wore this neon maxi dress with a hat (I know I know, it was raining but hats keep my little afro in place). Then I changed to black overalls and comfy shoes to go to the town. I don't have as many pics from this day in comparison to the rest (Gabo treats his camera like a baby...so imagine when it's raining). I hope you like them!!

Unos dÃas antes de viajar a Culebra nos "preocupamos" porque el pronóstico del tiempo decÃa que iba a llover todos los dÃas que ibamos a estar allá. Afortunadamente no fue asÃ, solo nos llovÃo uno de los cuatro dÃas... en otras palabras este dÃa, un domingo. Aunque la lluvia no nos dejó ir a la playa, nos quedamos jugando juegos de mesa toda la mañana. Luego pasamos la tarde en el pueblo ya que la mitad del grupo que fue, se regresa a sus respectivas ciudades para trabajar el Lunes. Esto fue muy estresante porque el ferry estaba lleno, los vuelos todos vendidos... y pasamos horas acompañándolos y asegurándonos que regresaran sanos a tierra firme. Durante la mañana utilicé este vestidito neón con un sombrero (que aunque no habÃa sol, el sombrero me ayuda con mi afro jajaja). Luego para ir al pueblo, me cambié a unas braga negra con un traje de baño completo debajo. Como estuvo lloviendo tanto, son pocas las fotos en comparación al resto de los artÃculos de Culebra- pero igual espero que les gusten!

| Lolli Swim swimsuit from InStyleSwimwear H&M baseball hat |
I wanted to spread the posts from Culebra so there was a little variety to the blog- I didn't want so many swimsuit posts together. As I told you before, I was in Puerto Rico with a couple of friends (my boyfriend and some of my friends are from Puerto Rico). These pics are from the second day, which was the most gorgeous in terms of weather...and we spent the WHOLE day at the beach. We ate, tanned, jumped from the boat..and had so much fun! About the otufits: I originally wanted to wear this polka dotted swimsuit with the big bows- which is actually very flattering on small booties like mine...and well, the big bow on the back is just too cute. However, I need we were going to be jumping around...so I changed to a bikini that wouldn't fall off that easily. I hope you like the pictures! XOXO

Quise esparcir los artÃculos de Culebra para no aburrirlas con tantos posts playeros con trajes de baño. Como les conté, estuve en la isla con un grupo de amigos y la pasamos espectacular. El segundo dÃa fue el dÃa que más aprovechamos en la playa como tal...nos hizo un dÃa hermosÃsimo y la playa parecÃa un paraÃso. Comimos, tomamos sol, brincamos/payaseamos, y disfrutamos al máximo. Sobre los "outfits"; originalmente querÃa utilizar este traje de baño de lunares con el lazo atrás- el cual me parece muy favorecedor si no tienes mucho derriere, como yo! (y el lazo es un toque espectacular). Pero lamentablemente sabÃa que ibamos a estar brincando, y me quise cambiar para la playa como tal. Al igual que el post anterior, espero que las fotos hablen por si solas!
