Road Trip Puerto Rico

Roadtrip...

This is an example of the narrow and windy roads I traveled today.


First stop was Aibonito. Where I watched a couple of kidos going at it in the central plaza. I'm pretty sure the guy in the blue won.



I stopped at this nice scenic viewpoint


Ha...don't press too hard on your eye


Playing with the shutter speed


Sticking his tongue at me


Waterfall on the side of road...deserves a picture

Jardin Botanico/The Botanical Garden

The National Botanical Garden of Puerto Rico is affiliated with the UPR University of Puerto Rico. It has a beautiful collection of palms, heliconias and Orchids and local and endangered flora.

Loíza Festival

Puerto Rico’s African heritage is front and center in the town of Loíza. The Loíza area served as a settlement for the Nigerian peoples originally brought in as slaves by the Spaniards. St. James Festival in the last week of July is an annual folk and religious ceremony that honors St. James the Apostle. The carnival-like celebration features costumes, masks, parades, and bomba dancers, and reflects the African and Spanish heritage.








Getting Low










This group of people ask me to take their picture because they thought I was from the San Juan newspaper.


Loiza is a unique town full of culture and traditions. It honestly did not seem like I was in Puerto Rico. They even invited me to join them in having a drink. I will never forget how nice they were.

I also do weddings!! ha!
