Puerto Rico, Day 2

Puerto Rico, Day 2



To any displaced Puerto Rican living anywhere but here, this image should conjure some wonderful memories. Mmm...a typical dish complete with "arroz con gandules", roast pork, macaroni salad, and a side of plantains with garlic and onion.


My first iguana spotting! Apparently, this is a smaller sized iguana compared to what's out there. Iguanas aren't native to Puerto Rico, but apparently were brought onto the island by locals who would later release their pets into the wild.


A Puerto Rican doorbell...seriously!


Plumeria, a flower commonly found in Hawaii, can be found all over the island of Puerto Rico.


Dusk begins to fall. I took this photo from the front yard of one of my mother's relative's house.


Night falls quickly. We drove to the nearby beach in Loiza for a view of late dusk on the beach. Looks like a Corona commericial!.


"Centro de Convenciones, San Juan" - Convention Center. In the evenings, they offer a fountain and light show coreographed to local music.


Night is upon the city. Check back later this week or maybe even tomorrow. We're getting out and seeing A LOT of neat places!
