We made a nice breakfast at Casa Blanca in preparation for our drive to our final destination in Utuado. Before we left we took a short walk on the beach in front of our house.

I wish we had more time to spend at Casa Blanca in Rincon. Since we had such a busy day away from our place we barely got to explore the area. We definitely want to come back here.
We stopped for lunch at a small cafeteria in San Sebastián on our way to the Gozalandia Falls. It had been raining in the morning so we it was pretty muddy when we went to the Water falls. At the first falls there were some locals hanging out and one guy in particular did some spectacular dives off the rocks and into the water. Nicola, Katie and Tyler all did some jumping into the water too. They really had a blast!
The second falls had a rope swing. Jim, Tyler, Nicola and Katie all really enjoyed it. This place was so lush and green, the water was fresh, it really was just plain beautifully simple. When it was time to leave we were all soaked but we really didn't care. We were already wet so the rain didn't matter. We had another hour drive to our house "Casa Flora" which was in the mountainous area near Utuado. We arrived when it was raining so it as a challenge to get all our bags in.
We all took showers and got ready for dinner with the neighbors. When we booked the house we were able to pay to have an opportunity to have a "home cooked Puerto Rican" meal prepared for us. The neighbor Efrian came over with an umbrella so we would have it to walk next door to his house. When we came into their home the table was set for 6. I was disappointed that our hosts did not join us for dinner but it was a great meal!
