Its funny. The Puerto Rico I lived in and the Puerto Rico people describe don't really sound like the same place.
Of course, I didn't live in the big city, I lived on the south coast. No crime, mile from the beach, nice folks, doesn't get much better than that.
By the way, hows the weather, this fine Christmas season?
"Its funny. The Puerto Rico I lived in and the Puerto Rico people describe don't really sound like the same place."
I know. It seems they think of Puerto Rico as a tropical Bronx, or as it was found when the U.S. liberated us from the Spanish crown. When my mainland clients come here for the first time they seemed amazed at finding a 24-hour Walgreens across from their hotels.
The weather here? Well, you might remember what we called the "aires de Navidad", which I would translate as the Christmas-time breeze. Not too hot, not cold at all. Just a refreshing breeze. It did rain a lot this year, so it's still a little humid. It is the best time of the year. I haven't had to turn on my airconditioner since mid-November!
