Here's Joanne in front of the Christopher Columbus statue.
Despite the government shutdown closing the forts, we were able to walk around the outside of them.
On Wednesday we took a catamaran snorkeling trip to a small outlying island called Cayo Icacos. When we arrived at the island, some on the boat with us saw these fish in the water and thought they had found some small sharks, however the guides explained they are actually a harmless fish known as Remora.
The water was bathtub warm and crystal clear. It made me want to never leave. I did not have an underwater camera, but even if I did, I doubt photos could do justice to the wide array of tropical fish, coral and other marine life we witnessed. We spent hours swimming around the reefs, chasing the fish and basking in the sun.

On Thursday evening, the conference sponsored a beach party. Many members of the IACIS have become good friends over the years. It was good to spend the evening with them enjoying good food, good weather and music.
This is the Condado Beach sidewalk near the Marriott hotel where the conference was held.
We made it home safely late Saturday night. The girls had a grand time with Kathy, so all went well and we were grateful for the experiences we had.
