Puerto Rico 1- Pasta Y Pueblo

I get overwhelmed thinking where to start blogging and what pictures to start posting from my beloved Puerto Rico trip that was almost 3 months ago. Then my stomach growls while Im browsing through my folder with  1,214 pictures in it and I decide Pasta Y Pueblo is the best place to start. I went there on my first day and I went there on my last day, so i'll start there. What is Pasta Y Pueblo you ask? Just the worlds best place i've eaten so far. Seriously, I've never craved something like I crave this place. It looks like a shack. A run down shack that locks all the windows at night. But don't let looks deceive you. This place is small, like 5 tables small, but it is a hidden gem right by the beach! If you are ever near Luquillo (about 40 minutes from San Juan), it's a must. Both nights chef sent us out an appetizer free of charge. First night I got coconut rice and chicken with pasta and a pesto sauce. I crave this dish all the time still. The mussels, Ahi Tuna, scallops, guava cheesecake, coconut flan, it was all delicious. Its family owned. A little girl helped her mom serve, the little boy was playing around outside, the beautiful mother was the server and the ex-pro surfer husband/father was the chef. They were so genuine and gave excellent service. So here it is ladies and gents..

A Blog isn't a Blog without a Blog

As I sit here devouring my Christmas chocolate covered rasins getting excited about my trip to Seattle next week with the boyfriend, I started thinking about vacations and pictures. Which lead to the thought of me not sharing any of my pictures from my last trip to Puerto Rico in October.(Unless you caught a glimpse of the ones I posted on Instagram). The thought of uploading all of them to facebook made me cringe. I don't know why.I'm kinda over uploading my life in pictures on facebook. But, I have a blog, so why not use it?! I haven't published anything since June 2011. When I looked at my blog, I even giggled at some of the stuff I used to post. So much growing up has happened. So much change has happened. I'm not even sure I know how to use blogger anymore. Let the up-dating and re-vamping start! Who knows how long i'll even keep this up, but hey, it's worth a shot. Here's to 2013 right?!
