Day 2 - Exploring the Island











Today the team from ESU had the opportunity to explore some of Puerto Rico's natural beauty. After reviewing logistics for the upcoming XXI CAC Games, the group spent time at the beach in Boqueron, took a tour of the islands near Paguera, and then took a drive into the rainforest near Maricao. Maricao is the home of ESU graduate student, Mariangelie Balaguer. Students and faculty were treated to a special home cooked meal with Mariangelie's family at her home deep in the central mountains of Puerto Rico. We even celebrated graduate student Jane Scheffler's 23rd birthday!
