One of the more unique and interesting places we visited while traveling was Puerto Rico. We have been a lot of places, but this seems to be the place that most people ask about when they find out we were there. I have to say Puerto Rico is truly amazing and really enjoyed our few days there in May oc 2004. One thing we both enjoyed quite a bit was our tour of the Casa Bacardi Rum facility. I am not a huge drinker, but when I do, I usually like something with rum in it. Thus I was very interested to see the facility and learn more about their company.



P.s. If you like distilleries, make sure to check out my post on Jack Daniels in Tennessee, and Backwards Distillery in Casper, WY.
