San Juan was beautiful. Here was our view on most days (I did have to go to the conference some of the time...no, really, I did)
Gorgeous!
And, wait, I turned to the other side. Gorgeous!
The pink socks were finished and enjoyed a little sun
And I had a little knitting friend who would visit me by the pool, sit on the edge of the lounge chair and watch me knit.
All in all, it was a great time. We went to Old San Juan (breathtaking!). Saw some truly excellent friends (go Team Chuggnutz! And Ms. SH, please get yourself a blog), ate delicious mofongo and tostones at Café del Angel. While we were there, 50,000 people organized in a march from the convention center into Old San Juan for Puerto Rico Grita, a peaceful demonstration regarding recent governmental crises. I'm not even sure it made the news in the states. It was amazing.
So now, the pink socks, BL & I are home after a long flight and a layover in Philly during which I saw my brother who was traveling from Philly to Texas (totally not planned - completely random!!!) and I picked up some soft pretzels
Mmmmm
Since it's not 89 degrees here (...sigh...), I put on the pink socks - cute!
And while I was away, I made wonderful progress on the San Juan socks
Now for some unpacking and sleep!
I'm so jealous of the new stripey ones - they are looking fabulous! The pink ones look great, too! I'm glad you had enough yarn.

Oh, it looks so warm and peaceful there! But you couldn't wear your fabulous socks if you lived there. And a new pair already? Watch out, you might be addicted!
