Florida Love

Image
Yup, nope, not that Florida... :) Florida (Spanish pronunciation: [floˈɾiða] , Flowery) is a municipality of Puerto Rico (U.S.) located north of Ciales , south of Barceloneta , east of Arecibo , and west of Manatí . Florida is spread over one ward and Florida Pueblo (The downtown area and the administrative center of the city). It is part of the San Juan-Caguas-Guaynabo Metropolitan Statistical Area . [1] So close to Arecibo... ;) Some folks see through a certain lens that they believe so strongly, others see through another lens. When you watch the news back in the states, you hear all the desperate cries that have gone unheard... but being here it seems the truth is stranger than the fiction of what's being told back in the states. I can tell you only what I see, so here goes... I see love in many forms, love in the form of being together and in family, I see love in the form of nursing. I see love in the f

Heroic Policía

Today I'd like to thank the heroic policía that bravely cut and block through the traffic to get us through to our destinations. They have to endure downed trees, power poles and lines, flooding, crazy drivers,  and having to re-route the motorcade because a bridge or road is out. From left to right, I'd sincerely like to thank officers, Henry Diodonet Omar Pagan Charlie Ruiz Jacobo Sánchez  for keeping us safe and on the move!

Naguabo

Naguabo (Spanish pronunciation: [naˈɣwaβo] ) is a municipality in Puerto Rico (U.S.) located in the east coast of the island, north of Humacao ; south of Río Grande and Ceiba ; and east of Las Piedras . Naguabo is spread over 8 wards and Naguabo Pueblo (The downtown area and the administrative center of the city). It is part of the San Juan-Caguas-Guaynabo Metropolitan Statistical Area . Naguabo is said to be the birthplace of the pastelillo de chapín, which is a popular food in Puerto Rico. It is trunkfish wrapped inside a flour dough that is deep fried. Pastelillo de chapín can be found in almost any seaside establishment on the island. [1] Today the road to Naguabo by highway was just jaw dropping. So many pieces and parts of infrastructure, trees and debris strewn all over the country side. This is a hard hit area, very close to ground zero of Maria landfall. Lots of Army vehicles in this area. The Walmart th
