Today we got the opportunity to go out and explore Puerto Rico.

Together as a team we all decided that the activity we wanted to do on our free day was snorkeling. We woke up and got ready by 7:20am and headed off to El Kraken where we hopped on a boat. From there, Captain Julianna took us out in the Caribbean where we all snorkeled and had the opportunity to see all sorts of exotic fish, sting rays and coral reef. Then we went on to a lone island and got to swim in the ocean for about 2 hours. The water was crystal blue and we could see all the way to the bottom. El Kraken provided lunch for us that consisted of chicken salad, pasta salad, regular salad and pastries.

Around 12:30 we headed back to dock the boat. While on the boat the crew also educated us with some of the background history of the island that was super interesting. For most of us on the team, this was our first time snorkeling and it was a great experience and super cool that we got to do it together. The crew on the boat were super friendly and made the experience so fun.

We arrived back at the hotel around 1:00pm to relax and get out of the sun for a bit.

We had a few hours of free time where we all got to do our own thing. Some went to swim in the pool and some decided to stay in.

Finally around 6:00pm we headed off to dinner, where we ate at Butaque. It was a Tex Mex style restaurant and was very good!

After dinner the team had a sweet tooth and we all went to get ice cream at Cremaldi. Then to finish our night off we went back to our rooms and had a game night with each other.
