Rincón Beach Resort …. “🇵🇷 Our Favorite Spot in the World 🇵🇷 …. Before and After Hurricane María …. “!!


A PICTURE SAYS A THOUSAND WORDS

The red * marks the spot where our favorite spot on the world is located.

~RINCON BEACH RESORT~

Whenever we travel to Puerto Rico to visit family and friends and to get away from the daily hustle and bustle, we land in Aguadilla. We drive to Rincón and check in.

The resort is our base. We drive from the base to surrounding towns to see friends and family.

As a matter of fact, we were due for our next trip before Hurricane María nearly flattened Puerto Rico 118 days ago.

Prior to that, Hurricane Irma also grazed the island.

BEST INLET EVER

AERIAL VIEWS OF THE RESORT

BEAUTIFUL SHORELINE AND SANDY BEACH

AWESOME, PERFECT RELAXING ATMOSPHERE

HURRICANE MARIA PATH OVER PUERTO RICO

*(the red * marks the spot where the resort is located)*

NOTICE HOW BIG MARIA WAS 

It engulfed and swallowed Puerto Rico.

According to the National Hurricane Center, hurricane-force winds extended up to 30 miles from Hurricane María’s center, while tropical storm-force winds extend outward for up to 125 miles.

Keep in mind that Puerto Rico is 100 miles long X 35 miles wide.

There was no place to hide!

NOTICE THE STEP DOWN WHERE THE BEACH USED TO BE

*(compare to the ‘before’ pictures)*

It’s all gone. My heart is hurting.

The friend who sent me the pictures told me that the beach lost its shore, the trees and the palm trees are gone as you can see.

The beach itself is deeper and not safe for swimming.

THE SOFT SAND IS GONE, REPLACED BY ROCKS AND DEBRIS

THE SOFT BEACH IS GONE

CANNOT WALK TO THE POINT ANYMORE

INCREDIBLE BEACH EROSION

THANKFULLY THE INNER COURTYARD SEEMS ABOUT THE SAME

LONGEST DAY, SHORTEST NIGHT

Summer solstice 2017 in Northern Hemisphere was at 12:24 AM on Wednesday, June 21, 2017
All times are in Eastern Time.

~SUMMER SOLSTICE~

The summer solstice (or estival solstice), also known as midsummer, occurs when a planet’s rotational axis, or geographic pole on either its northern or its southern hemisphere, is most inclined toward the star that it orbits.

On the summer solstice, Earth’s maximum axial tilt toward the Sun is 23.44°. This happens twice each year (once in each hemisphere), when the Sun reaches its highest position in the sky as seen from the north or south pole.

Something to think about …. “When America sends its people … to Cancun …. “!!

TURN IT AROUND

“When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.”

VENTE PA’ CA

(Come over this way!)

What a great way to start any morning.

Ricky Martin has a new video for a very catchy tune.

It brings back memories of summer as the fall season beings.

Are we already missing the summer heat?

These two guys are surely hot!!

Ricky Martin and Maluma’s “Vente Pa’Ca” has us feeling like it’s summer all over again.

After snapping a selfie together and blasting it on social media, the two hot Latin superstars host an epic beach party at the SLS Hotel in Miami Beach where they party it up Miami-style.

The clip was directed by Jessy Terrero.

The party track with a reggaeton beat was originally titled “Some Kind of Dream” in English and was written in Scandinavia by Anne Judith Stokke Wik, Ronny Vidar Svendsen, Nermin Harambasic, Justin Stein, Lars “Chief One” Pedersen  and Carl Ryden.

For the Spanish-language track, Mau Y Ricky Montaner penned the lyrics.

Martin also contributed in the writing.

While the video makes its debut now, “Vente Pa’Ca” will be available on all digital platforms as of Friday, September 23.

PUERTO RICAN FLAG 

This is my flag.

It flies wherever there’s any kind of wind.

It flaps in the breeze and makes a wonderful, comforting sound.

This is our “red, white, blue”.

IOTD …. Image of the day, #520 …. “The Beauty of Motion … Young Girl”!!


JosB

~~May 20, 2016~~ 

YOUTHFUL BEAUTY

In a beautiful, tropical beach, on the southwest corner of Puerto Rico,

a young girl practices her gymnastic moves.

This movement was caught by the girl’s mother.

Even though it’s a still, it conveys the beauty of motion.

It’s a feeling of energy and physical ability.

The mother is my best friend, the daughter I never had.

The young girl is my grandniece.

Proud to have my blood course through her veins!

A dear blogger friend taught me this concept.

~IN HER OWN WORDS~

IOTD” is image of the day, a concept I came up with. I teach visual meditative therapy – or in easy terms – a mini mental holiday. For some people it is very difficult for them to get their image right. I post an image a day for people to use in their mini mental vacay. Some are serious, some are silly, and some are just beautiful!”
