SAINT MARIA MAGDALENA de PAZZIS

Santa María Magdalena de Pazzis Cemetery is a colonial-era cemetery located in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico.

It is the final resting place of many of Puerto Rico’s most prominent natives and residents.

(Notice one of them: Félix Benítez Rexach)

Construction began in 1863 under the auspices of Ignacio Mascaro.

The cemetery is located outside the walls of Fort San Felipe del Morro fortress, one of the island’s most famous landmarks. The average height of the wall is 40 feet and the width ranges from 15 to 20 feet.

It was named in honor of Saint Maria Magdalena de Pazzi.

LA GRAN FIESTA

~THE BIG PARTY~

Olga Teresa Tañón Ortíz (born April 13, 1967 in Santurce) is a Puerto Rican recording artist. Over the course of her career, she has earned two Grammy Awards, four Latin Grammy Awards and 29 Premio Lo Nuestro Awards.

~WIKIPEDIA~

RedLineB

Olga is a beloved Puerto Rican singer, amazing, creative and simply beautiful. She represents the Boricua women, the Boricua spirit and my country, Puerto Rico.

She has been very actively participating in the restoration of the battered Island.

This is the spirit that characterizes the Puerto Rican people.

This is what we need during these times. This is what will come back because Puerto Rico will NEVER be destroyed!

“It’s like a big party, Where sadness has no place

Where I sing to everything but bitterness, That doesn’t open any doors …”

LYRICS

Como una gran fiesta
Donde no cabe la tristeza
Donde canto todo, a la amargura no
Eso no se le abre la puerta (yeah)
¡eso! ¡uh!
¡que lindo!
Celebrando la vida

La vida tiene momentos malos
Donde los golpes no avisan
Pero yo me quedo con esos ratitos
En lo que me dio una sonrisa

Hay días arriba, días abajo
Días sólo que te desestabilizan
Pero yo me quedo con
Con lo que vino a visitarme la dicha

Porque la vida es un regalo (yoyoyo)
Es un regalo que se aprovecha
Por eso hay que vivir, vivirlo

Como una gran fiesta
Donde no cabe la tristeza
Donde canto todo, a la amargura no
Sólo se le abre la puerta

Como una gran fiesta
Una fiesta gigantesca
De la alegría, donde la alegría
Después que se despierta
Ya nunca más se acuesta
¡es qué!
¡la vida!

La vida tienes momentos yo sé
En que el mundo se te vira al revés
Pero yo me quedo con los momentitos
En que te besé y te besé

Te ponen muros, te ponen traspié
Te ponen metas donde a lo mejor no llegaré
Pero yo me quedo porque desperté, desperté
Y desperté

Porque la vida es un regalo (yoyoyo)
Es un regalo que se aprovecha
Por eso hay que vivir, vivirlo

Como una gran fiesta
Donde no cabe la tristeza
Donde canto todo, a la amargura no
Sólo se le abre la puerta

Como una gran fiesta
Una fiesta gigantesca
De la alegría, donde la alegría
Después que se despierta
Ya nunca más se acuesta

¡que lindo!
¡arriba las manitas!
¡arriba las manitas!
Mago de oz y la tañón
1. 2. 3
Ahora todo el mundo señores
Arriba y dice

Pégate, sube las manos
Así que pégate, sube las manos
Que te quiero bailando
Te quiero ver bailando oh
Pégate, sube las manos
Así que pégate, sube las manos
Que te quiero ver, que te quiero ver
Que te quiero ver

Como una gran fiesta
Donde no cabe la tristeza
Donde canto todo, a la amargura no
Sólo se le abre la puerta

Como una gran fiesta
Una fiesta gigantesca
De la alegría, donde la alegría
Después que se despierta
Ya nunca más se acuesta
¡eso!
¡arriba la vida!

IN A PUERTO RICO STATE OF MIND

My country is always on my mind. Y

ou can take a Puerto Rican out of the Island but you can’t take the Island out of a Puerto Rican.

This is a view of one of the old Spanish forts in the Old San Juan are.

The sun, the ocean, the breeze, the sky, the clouds.

That’s how strong being Puerto Rican is.

THE RED DOOR LANDMARK

This is a picture etched in my mind and my heart.

Many a’times did I walked through it.

Imagine all the history … go back in time!

Many, many people have gone through that door.

In the past, one was able to drive the car through old San Juan, drive through the door and go out to the main streets.

It has now become a beautiful promenade for folks to stroll and enjoy their visit.

It takes me back!

“The red door, where dignitaries were permitted to enter Spanish San Juan’s walls”

The red-painted, heavy, wooden doors of the San Juan Gate, the only surviving original town gate. Built in 1520, this gate provided access to the wealthy and the Spanish dignitaries disembarking from ships.

Less prominent visitors used one of the other five gates that are no longer in existence.

SUNRISE IN BORINQUEN

There’s nothing like awakening to a sunrise in Puerto Rico.

There’s an amazing beauty in the promise of a new day.

There’s one moment in time when all stands still and all is OK!

A Puerto Rican Moment …. “It Happens …. “Puerto Rican Snow Cone …. Yum”!!


Piragua

~~September 2, 2016~~ 

TROPICAL SNOW CONE

Snow cones are a variation of shaved ice or ground-up ice desserts commonly served throughout North America in paper cones or foam cups.

The dessert consists of ice shavings that are topped with flavored sugar syrup.

Depending on the region of North America, the terms “snowball” and “snow cone” may refer to different things. Where the distinction is made, the former refers to a dessert made of finely shaved ice (“like soft fresh snow”), while the latter contains ground-up ice that is coarser and more granular (“crunchy”).

GoldSwirl

These snow cones have the El Morro Fort as a background.

This is Old San Juan.

In Puerto Rico, our snow cones are crunch, refreshing and simply delicious.

It’s a tradition.

The flavors are tropical and out of this world.
