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”

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”

San Antonio Adventures, Pt. 2

By: Gabriela Yareliz Visiting the Alamo was memorable. This property is absolutely gorgeous. Old world charm. Luis’ profile. My favorite kind of selfie. This Mexican folk art boutique was exquisite. Meet me by the river! Thank you, San Antonio. You were clean, friendly, gorgeous and a perfect summer adventure.

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”

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”
