RE: going to puerto rico
Never been but I watch Beachfront bargains yesterday. A couple was buying a vacation home in Puerto Rico they wanted the the house to be in Corando (SP?) they said that was the happening place. It was right near San Juan I think. Have to see the Red Tunnel the last standing gate into San Juan. It had 5 gates surrounding and walls because it was a fort when it was built.

Being dirty and hungry off of the mainland gives you hipster cred, too.
Perhaps see if they have a immersive street person experience tour you can purchase. Looks great on a resume. Shows a real commitment to addressing your white privilege head on.

Get over to Vieques, swin in the bioluminescent bay, check out Playa Negra (black sand - crazy ****) and the beaches in the old naval base (untouched coral that comes up to the shore - bring snorkel gear).

I know how you hate punctuation so I can't tell if you are just calling your partner lady baby or if you actually have a child. I need to know the answer to this.

I love Puerto Rico. Great beaches, El Yunque, Old San Juan, etc. Make sure the wife visits her OB before you go, just to be safe.

never before have i seen my white privilege cast upon the eyes then when my friends and i were paraded around guatemala with guatemala's most recent man of the year (at the time). never was 100 percent certain he received such distinction, it's just better not to. i woulda voted for him

RE: going to puerto rico
There are more white people in PR than in most of Latin America. The island had been invaded so many times by Europeans throughout the centuries. IIRC nearly 55% of the population consider themselves caucasian.

RE: going to puerto rico
Sounds like a fun time but I would advise a level of caution.
I have friends that moved here who were born in PR and lived in PR their whole lives - wanted to get their kids out - too many scary incidents. From their descriptions, it can be a fairly rough, unpredictable place even in nice areas

All I know is what my daddy told me: "You gotta sleep on your toes, and when you're on the street, You gotta be able to pick out the easy meat with your eyes closed."
Or wait maybe that was from a Pink Floyd song. Either way.
