Bob and Camille's Puerto Rican Wedding

A drive to Orlando for our flight to Puerto Rico. We spent Christmas Eve at a rooftop restaurant in San Juan.
On Christmas Day, we were off to Viejes. John fortunately called the airlines in advance. They had cancelled our flight, so we had to head back to the main airport to catch another flight. It was a 10 person plane flying visual to the small island of Viejes. Bob and Steph met us at the airport and we drove to Casa Cielo. The island was reminiscent of Costa Rico – bad roads, a lazy feeling and stray dogs (and horses) everywhere. We had a quick lunch with the entire family, took a quick nap and then headed for a pre-wedding dinner.
December 26 - Wedding day. John, Bob and I took off for the morning to explore the island while the others had massages and did their nails, etc. The wedding was absolutely beautiful - simple and elegant with a touch of Bob and Camille making it truly their ceremony. Father Tomas (“Doubting Tomas”- a priest from Guatemala who had the irritating habit of saying “exactly” in every sentence) did a great job. We had champagne and appetizers then headed for a wedding dinner.
