Y'all don't get me wrong, I think the majority of the people here appreciate what we're doing. The press and a handfull of activists seem to be stirring up the most trouble. The one desire of all archs. that I have met here from the US is to help PRicans to uncover the history that has been misplaced over time and help PR in any way they can in that manner. At least with us on this project, we just want to be allowed to be a part of it all. All of us view it as a priviledge to even be here, so much so that it's an hourly conversational topic. It's sort of like going to your mother in law's house for Christmas dinner, only to have several of her cousins scream at you, cuss at you, protest your presence, then walk out and disown the whole family, just because you have blue eyes and they have brown. Actually, that's a pretty good analagy.
Well, anyway, It's not my intention to take over this thread as a sort of blog. I love to talk to people about my passion of the beautiful things that The Lord has given all of us, and I suppose that's why this topic has ended up at the point it has. I will see all I can here while we're here. I'm not rich, at all, lol, so spending a fortune going to the regular tourist traps is definately not my style. At the cost of items here in the supermarkets, I'm not sure exactly how much I'm going to have to take shuttles to islands, or rent a car for when my wife comes down (who's PRican, by the way), but, I have gotten permission to go gold panning here. That may keep me a lil busy for the weekends. You all have an extensive knowledge of specific attractions, and I want to thank you for the information you have already given me, and anything that might be posted in the future. You just can't put a price on the shared knowledge of others, huh? I'm sure going to try to see Flemenco(did I spell that right,lol?) Beach, especially to watch the sea turtles in the moonlight. I'm going to try my best to get over to Coffin Island, seems someone today was telling me it was also a butterfly santuary. I've been told about a local pig picking every weekend that I need to attend on top of one of the mountains to the north of here. Mmmmm.... smoked pig. I plan to visit that one of these weekends too.
