Barranquitas (Spanish pronunciation: [baraŋˈkitas] , Smallgullies) is a small mountain municipality located in the central region of Puerto Rico (U.S.), south of Corozal and Naranjito ; north of Coamo and Aibonito ; west of Comerío and Cidra ; and east of Orocovis . Barranquitas is spread over 6 wards and Barranquitas Pueblo (the downtown area and the administrative center of the city). It is part of the San Juan-Caguas-Guaynabo Metropolitan Statistical Area . Barranquitas is about one hour by winding roads from San Juan , the capital. It is nestled amid hills and mountains, and nearby, between Barranquitas and Aibonito, is located the "cañón de San Cristóbal" (Canyon of Saint Cristopher); one of the deepest canyons in the Indies. For years, the overlook was used as a municipal garbage; in the last decade, the refuse was removed and the site restored.[1] Sometimes life is funny... Seriously the only thing that is up and running are the automatic tolls... I mea
My first day of travel to Puerto Rico was via a friend I haven't seen in a really long time. It was really good to see Jack and his lovely wife Lynn. I really miss the EOD brotherhood, but on many of my travels I only need to do a little searching to find a few on my way. Jack wouldn't let me leave his home until we had steak and beer, and talked about the old days, packing me up with medical kits, more packing tape and many cautionary tales. In essence, I was trained and kitted up over dinner with nearly 40 years of tactical experience. I thought to myself about what my boss Jim says all the time... "What could be better than this?" My favorite of all the gifts was of course spending time catching up, but, I do love collecting coins... :)
