Eric and Sharon vacation in Pureto Rico

We just came back from 6 days in Puerto Rico. It was cold in Columbus and it was our 32nd wedding anniversary.

We went to the far western coast (Rincon Beach Resort - google it). It was beautiful. Warm sun and sand, deserted beaches (as shown below). Easy and comfortable trip (from the eastern time zone).


We also visited some small villages. We love the architecture. (note the cat watching us)


Of course, as a radar/antenna engineer, I visited Arecibo Observatory, the largest antenna in the world (google it). Explore the universe! Special thanks to Ganesan Rajagopalan for the special tour.
That "feed system" in the photo is 45 stories above the main reflector!


We were sorry to go, and PR was sad to see us leave as evidenced by the colorful sunset on our last day.


We just loved it. You will too. Posted by Picasa
