I adore this melody The swish and sway of your movement The calming sense of purpose Perseverance To return always Back and forth Gathering momentum As you approach the finish line I wonder where you’ve been And I imagine it should be everywhere For only gravity retains you And not even in all forms Giver of life Immense and vast…
Puerto Rico got really lucky with Irma, but that doesn't mean shit didn't go down. Here are pics of the next day in San Juan where the effects were not as strong as on the eastern side of the Island. There are lots of trees on the ground and electrical posts broken. There is no electricity, but there is water,…
As some of you might know, I'm very fond of nature. In particular, I really like mushrooms. I think they look like tiny fairy umbrellas. This morning, nature blessed me with these that I share now with you.(All pics by me.) May you all have a Splendid Sunday!

Sufro por la sombra que cobijaba los niños Por la iguana que…
Piñones is a small treasure of possibilities. From natural seawater pools, surfing spots, chinchorros with traditional fried foods like alcapurrias and bacalaítos, to fishing, fruit frappes and a pretty cool and ecologically diverse bike route. All this, only minutes from San Juan. From The Baldorioty de Castro Expressway or from Ave. Isla Verde, take road 187 to Piñones. The path…
