Vega Alta, A Town About A Beach 

Posted onLeave a comment

Vega Alta is one of those towns that I hard­ly vis­it, unless I’m going to the beach. And even then, I don’t vis­it the beach —any beach— as much as I used to either. With that said, this week Zorai­da and I vis­it­ed the love­ly town of Vega Alta, on the cen­­tral-north­ern coast of Puer­to Rico. To us mere mor­tals Vega Con­tin­ue reading…

Corozal, Gateway To The Heart Of Puerto Rico

The oth­er day my wife and I vis­it­ed the lit­tle town of Corozal, Puer­to Rico. It’s a small town (2,601 inhab­i­tants) that sits almost at the geo­graph­i­cal heart of Puer­to Rico (that would be Oro­co­vis). The dri­ve to Corozal was easy. We took toll road PR-22 going west, got off on exit 22B towards road 165 going south, off again Con­tin­ue reading…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…
