To start the day …. “Porta Caribe …. “!!

~~April 21, 2016~~ 

PORTA CARIBE

I was born in Santurce, a suburb of San Juan.

I grew up in Río Piedras, another suburb of San Juan.

I went to college in Ponce, the south region.

This is the area where I spent four of my formative years …

… and “formed” I was!

I completed my bachelor’s degree at the Catholic University of Ponce.

It was here where I met the love of my life way back in 1969.

The memories are countless.

They all, good and bad, have a warm spot in my heart.

I became an adult in the south region of Puerto Rico!

I hope you enjoy this video and understand why my heart stays behind.

Puerto Rico’s South Region is European Styled … especially the architecture.

Ponce, Puerto Rico’s second-largest city, was founded in the late 17th century.

The city experienced a commercial boom in the 19th, then declined so quickly that no one had time to tear anything down. The center of town is crowded with wedding-cake colonial mansions, arrayed in a procession of balconies, balustrades, and bas-relief.
