Barranquitas, Where Beauty and History Come Together 

This week my wife and I vis­it­ed the town of Bar­ran­quitas, Puer­to Rico. It’s a small town that sits almost at the geo­graph­i­cal cen­ter of the main Island of Puer­to Rico. As you will recall from sev­er­al of my pre­vi­ous posts, Puer­to Rico is a group of islands but it’s not an arch­i­pel­ago. How can that be pos­si­ble? Aren’t they both Con­tin­ue reading…

Aibonito, Puerto Rico’s Garden in the Mountains

This week my wife and I vis­it­ed the beau­ti­ful town of Aiboni­to, Puer­to Rico. We got to leave the noisy, stress­ful real­i­ty of urban liv­ing in the San Juan Metro­plex to enjoy the peace­ful beau­ty of Puer­to Rico’s coun­try­side; if only for a few hours. We arrived in Aiboni­to, a lit­tle over 8:30, on the morn­ing of Feb­ru­ary 26. It was Con­tin­ue reading…

Salinas, Puerto Rico | Fine Cuisine, Lots of History and Great People 

Last Mon­day, Feb­ru­ary 12, my wife Zory and I vis­it­ed the town of Sali­nas, on the south­ern coast of Puer­to Rico to pro­duce this post and a 13 minute video. It was pour­ing cats and dogs when we left our home in San Juan. But by the time we got to Sali­nas we had a clear blue sky and and Con­tin­ue reading…

Guayama, it could be so much more! 

Puer­to Rico is a great place to write a trav­el blog. And if you’re cov­er­ing the town of Guaya­ma, it’s even bet­ter. Or is it? Last year was a great year at Puer­to Rico By GPS. After being sort of dor­mant for a very long time, we decid­ed to “take the bull by the horns” and embark in a 3‑year project Con­tin­ue reading…

Arroyo, Puerto Rico | What It Is And What It’s Not 

The oth­er day my wife and I vis­it­ed the town of Arroyo, Puer­to Rico. It’s a lit­tle town on the south­ern coast of the Island that was one of those that took the brunt of hur­ri­cane María six years ago. Like many oth­er towns in Puer­to Rico the destruc­tion caused by hur­ri­cane María is there for all to see. The destroyed Con­tin­ue reading…

Patillas Puerto Rico: Green, Rocky & Cool 

Last week my wife and I vis­it­ed the town of Patil­las, on the south­east­ern coast of Puer­to Rico. It’s one of those small and sleepy towns that are best vis­it­ed in com­bi­na­tion with adja­cent munic­i­pal­i­ties. How­ev­er, we did dis­cov­er some gems that make this town unique and well worth the vis­it. I must admit that the words Green, Rocky & Cool Con­tin­ue reading…

Should You Visit Puerto Rico With Delicate Electronics? 

Today was sup­posed to be a nor­mal day in Puer­to Rico (what­ev­er that might look like). I was sup­posed to record a voiceover for my upcom­ing video and start edit­ing it. Then, after 2–3 days of work, I would write a 2,500 to 3.500-word post for the same loca­tion. After that the cycle would start all over again. But nor­mal in Con­tin­ue reading…

Maunabo, Puerto Rico | A Tiny Town With Huge Possibilities 

Maun­abo is one of those tiny towns in Puer­to Rico that still has the mag­ic of yes­ter­year. For many years it was one of the hard­est towns to get to because of its geo­graph­ic loca­tion. That cer­tain­ly put a damper on “progress”, but it also helped save the “mag­ic” of that sleepy Span­ish-style town that we all love. My wife and Con­tin­ue reading…

Imagination, It Comes Free With Every Brain 

This morn­ing I pub­lished the pho­to that you see at the top of this post. It’s the Pun­ta Tuna Light­house in Maun­abo, Puer­to Rico. Togeth­er with that pho­to I includ­ed the fol­low­ing com­men­tary: “Light­hous­es can be an excel­lent source of tourism income if town­ships only had a lit­tle imag­i­na­tion and deter­mi­na­tion”. Of course, this blog is all about tourism in Con­tin­ue reading…
