While i wait for my pipes to thaw out i thought i would update my blogs.

Sunday in Puerto Rico...
After getting my bag from the hotel, Christine and I got ready and headed out to the east part of the island to the rain forest.

Tip of the day...don't wear a white t-shirt to a RAINforest.

I was able to get a couple of great pictures while at the rainforest before I entered the Puero Rican Rainforest Wet T-Shirt Contest. I got caught outside in a heavy rainshower while we were in the upper region of the rainforest. I got drenched. I blame it on American and Hampton Inn. Not that it was there fault but everything that went wrong on this audit i blamed on American Airlines and Hampton Inn.

Monday morning I mee thte rest of my audit team (who flew in late Sunday night) downstairs for breakfast. We leave the hotel and begin to make our 1 hour trek south across Puerto Rico to Cidra where our hospital is located. After we get off the interstate we have about 20 miles of a 2 lane road up a mountain. Christine makes a comment about how horrible the drivers are in Puerto Rico. David coins the term "Driving Laws - Optional." I started laughing and at the same time, Jason and I both say "It's nothing compared to Honduras drivers." Neither one of us knew the other person had even been to Honduras. Puerto Ricans do not use their horns like the Hondurans. I tried to get Christine to bring "horn honking" to Puerto Rico but she would have none of it. Later on in the week when i drive I bring back horn honking.

FYI - shoulders of the road in Puerto Rico can also be used as a lane if you are too impatient to wait.

The view at the hospital is incredible. Later on in the week the view gets better when i see the hot interns!

Karma rears its ugly head again.
