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).

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.

I love exploring cemeteries.Continue reading “Memories: Washington, D.C. & Maryland”

San Antonio Adventures, Pt. 2

San Antonio Adventures, Pt. 1

By: Gabriela Yareliz In 2015, thanks to a friend’s extreme kindness (he heard us sing from Florida to Texas on a road trip) and my family’s sense of adventure, I had the opportunity to visit San Antonio, Texas. It was beautiful. I loved it so much. Texas left a fantastic impression on me. I wouldContinue reading “San Antonio Adventures, Pt. 1”
