More videos!

I uploaded two more videos of the coquis singing their song (ko-key). You should be able to see them by double-clicking on the pictures on the right. The video window will open at the top of the blog.

Back in Boston!

...Just in time for the rubber match against the Yanks! Puerto Rico was a great place to visit, but it is great to be back. Unfortunately, my luggage failed to return with me... hopefully I will get it tomorrow! I tried to bring back some sunshine, but I guess it didn't quite work. The airplane circled Boston for 30 minutes due to the cloudy, rainy weather.

Below are some more pics of Old San Juan. This little city truly is beautiful. I literally walked around and took pictures of every building. I love the balconies that decorate the streets. By chance I wandered into this unique craft store where Jose, an incredible Puerto Rican artist, was making little masks called vejigantes (vay-he-gone-tays). The vejigantes are worn during an annual celebration called carnival. After exchanging stories for nearly an hour, I learned tons about Puerto Rican culture from Jose who is a retired high school art teacher. I brought some his creations back with me...

Can't wait to see everyone tomorrow!

Beautiful balconies in Old San Juan.

A new friend: artist and teacher, Jose.

This little dog made this balcony come alive!
