MARY'S ADVENTURES IN PUERTO RICO | |
|
My Tuesday was an adventure! I traveled to the Cueva del Indio, where there are caves which include amazing art from the Taino peoples. This may have been the definition of Mary biting off more than she could chew lol.
First, a short hike across spiky rocks in the blazing sun. Then, arriving at the cave and tackling a significantly strenuous and unnerving climb up to and into the cave.
My super helpful guide Jean Louis said that I might be his oldest visitor to make it inside. I returned to San Juan with scraped up knees, a seriously achy shoulder, a giant blister...
But LOOK what I got to see!

CREATION CARE CELEBRATES
PLASTIC FREE JULY
| |
|
This month is celebrated as Plastic Free July. An abundance of plastic has accumulated in our oceans and other areas where it does not belong negatively impacting wildlife, the earth, water, and humans.
I invite you to spend some time this month reflecting on ways you can use less single-use plastic items such as straws, plastic grocery bags, and coffee cups.
