RE: Hacksaw Ridge
Yes, it passed last summer.
To those that haven't been, it's an interesting place, definitely 2 different worlds. You have Old San Juan and the beautiful resorts in Fajardo, great beaches and the rain forest. Then you have everything else. Last time I went I spent a lot more time on the everything else. There are some great people down there.

we were only in the highlands for a few hours, although it was a must for me, and my favorite part of the trip. while on the square of a town called barranquitas, an older man called out to me, you like this town don't you? he was from there but lived in the poconos. he and his wife return every year. they loved their city and would only speak reverently about it. the people who live there though, aren't as optimistic. they point to the closed shops down the street while i asked where a cafe was. did stop by a donut shop that made the delicacy in front of you. and he also poured good puerto rican coffee. that's another thing about puerto rico, the way they present coffee. it's more of the european espresso fashion. i'm thinking, c'mon. drip baby drip. you're practically the us. you probably get more us visitors than other countries. i love espresso, but i'm a pawn of american culture. i like to drink a cup of coffee, leisurely

we stayed close to the southern entrance of el yunque for four nights. the other side is a whole different world. just san juan tourist. beautiful diversion. i'd be interested in checking out the rest of the island, but i've got other latin american places on the agenda
