By: Gabriela Yareliz These are some of my favorite views from our walks around San Juan. That cemetery left me in awe. We climbed up on the wall, in efforts to get closer to this incredible view: We started walking up the hill, toward the fort, and then we happened to look back. We allContinue reading “Come Walk With Me: Old San Juan, Part II”

Come Walk With Me: Old San Juan
By: Gabriela Yareliz Our first outing in the Old San Juan was lovely. The sun was bright, the sky was blue, and we got rained on a bit by an impromptu shower that lasted five minutes. The cathedral where Marc Anthony got married:
Come Walk With Me: Arecibo, Puerto Rico
By: Gabriela Yareliz This observatory is definitely a must-see for the beautiful view and for educational purposes. The ultimate stop for nerding out. Bring walking shoes, because you will burn off your breakfast on the hike up the hill. They have neat interactive games, videos and demos to explain how the observatory and outer spaceContinue reading “Come Walk With Me: Arecibo, Puerto Rico”
Come Walk With Me: Playa Chiquita, Puerto Rico
By: Gabriela Yareliz Playa Chiquita is one of those places you walk around quietly and try to absorb and memorize as much of the scenery as possible. It’s gorgeous. The water was rough, blue and stunning. This couple was having its own photoshoot: Playa Chiquita had an important message for all of us:
Come Walk With Me: Jayuya, Part II
By: Gabriela Yareliz We went to Jayuya’s Hacienda San Pedro, where the legendary good coffee is grown and made. We also visited Casa Canales, and we learned about why it is important in Puerto Rican history. We visited El Semi, the museum on Taino history. We spent time with family: And there is nothing like family.
Come Walk With Me: Jayuya
By: Gabriela Yareliz We took a trip through winding roads, up mountains and through cliffs, to get to Jayuya, the place where, years ago, some Spaniards settled and decided to grow their family. My family. The roads are narrow and look like one-ways, but when another car appears going in the opposite direction, magically, theContinue reading “Come Walk With Me: Jayuya”
Come Walk With Me: El Tortuguero (Laguna), Puerto Rico
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”
