In 2017, Terry and I and our friend Guillermo had planned to go to Puerto Rico. Then Hurricane Maria came along, and that was the end of that. So we went to Costa Rica instead (you can read about that trip here).
Then, in January of this year (2022), Terry and I again planned to go to Puerto Rico, this time with our friends Ashley and Carlos from Nashville. But at the last minute, Ashley tested positive for COVID, and that was the end of that.
So we rescheduled the trip for February, and we finally got there.
Carlos is himself part Puerto Rican. His mother was from Puerto Rico, and his father was from the Dominican Republic. He grew up in Florida, but lived for a while in the Dominican Republic, and spent several summers in Puerto Rico. So he's quite familiar with the place.
And Ashley also speaks Spanish. So once again, I was the only one in the party who didn't speak Spanish. Although I'm learning it, using the Duolingo app.
As always, you'll see this symbol scattered throughout: (w). Those symbols are links to Wikipedia articles giving more in depth information about places we went and things we saw, for those who are interested.
For this trip log, I'm again doing an alternate version with additional descriptions of the pictures, for all our blind and visually impaired friends. Click here for the described version, or here for the standard version.
