By: Gabriela Yareliz We went to see turtles. I did not see one turtle, but the view was neat. We hiked up a mountain. It all reminded me of Florida, and that is always a sweet thing. I think I wake up every day with Florida nostalgia, so this place and post is appropriate. *insert feelingsContinue reading “Come Walk With Me: El Tortuguero (Laguna), Puerto Rico”

Come Walk With Me: Ponce
By: Gabriela Yareliz We visited the Castillo Serralles, the plaza, and we strolled around as the sun was setting. The sky turned a beautiful, bright cobalt blue. Near the plaza, there was the best little ice cream shop, with natural fruit ice creams (I got guanabana). Also near the plaza, is the best souvenir shopContinue reading “Come Walk With Me: Ponce”
Come Walk With Me: El Yunque, Part II
By: Gabriela Yareliz So, we were walking mid-rainforest, getting ready to walk to the last and biggest waterfall, when the downpour started. Typical rainforest rain, I suppose. It would not let up. The stone steps that lead to the waterfall were slippery. I ended up slipping on one, on the way back. I have aContinue reading “Come Walk With Me: El Yunque, Part II”
Come Walk With Me: El Yunque
(A view from the top of the tower, below) Hiking in the rainforest is not something you do every day. The whole family came dressed for adventure, and oddly not for rain (except for Ignacio, who busted out an umbrella, from his pocket). These are some snaps, pre-downpour. It’s an enchanting forest, filled with plenty of littleContinue reading “Come Walk With Me: El Yunque”
Come Walk With Me: Vieques
By: Gabriela Yareliz Early in the morning, we split up and stood in two separate lines. One line was for the island of Culebra, and the other line was for the island of Vieques. There was only one boat going to each island (ridiculous, I know), and so at that point, we had a betterContinue reading “Come Walk With Me: Vieques”
Monday Inspiration: February 15, 2016
“To heal is to touch with love that which was previously touched by fear.” Stephen Levine By: Gabriela Yareliz Happy week to all of you, my fellow cold survivors. I had an amazing dinner on Saturday night. As we were walking outside, we checked the weather, and it was below zero temperatures. Craziness. It wasContinue reading “Monday Inspiration: February 15, 2016”

In this post, I will be sharing with you some of my favorite shots from my time at home. Family. My gorgeous brothers. Unexpected Florida rains. The secret places that make my heartContinue reading “Floridian Moments”
La Sagrada Familia
By: Gabriela Yareliz Every day, I praise God for having these awesome people in my life. My family. Family is, by far, one of the most sacred gifts. This post seeks to celebrate the ones who see me at my worst and still love me (it’s no joke); the ones who pray for me; theContinue reading “La Sagrada Familia”
Reflections Before Bedtime #62
By: Gabriela Yareliz Sometimes, the simplest thing has the most profound meaning to a person. Everyone has a favorite candy, no? Mine is the M&Ms with peanuts. You know, the yellow bag. People who sat next to me in my law school clinic knew that if they saw a yellow M&M bag with a bagContinue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #62”
