PR - Castle Serralles

After a long night's sleep and a leisurely breakfast, we decided to make a little trip into the city of Ponce, about half an hour from our resort. The destination was Castle Serralles, a family estate turned museum. 

Our View At Breakfast
The tour of the house was great. With the incredible original family furniture filling the rooms, intricate decor and a great tour guide, we had a great time seeing the "castle." The grounds were also impeccably kept. Since we couldn't get pictures of the house, we took some exterior pictures.

After a stop to pick up our late lunch\early dinner and fighting rush hour traffic to pick up a few things at the grocery store, we were back to our resort. After eating dinner, we played a little tennis. Apparently, large Puerto Rican moths are huge tennis fans because they were all over the court. We saw 4 different kinds all about the same size...monsterous!

After tennis, it was another leisurely evening at the hotel. Ahhhh! Being on vacation is great!
