Hi @Nosaint2_Rafael_Fe

Thanks for sharing these lovely photos. Do you live in Ponce or you were just visiting? Everything looks so nice. I’ve been wanting to visit Puerto Rico since a long time ago. I think I’m going to really love the country because of all the culture.

I have so many Latin friends and they keep saying Puerto Rico is the place to be. :slightly_smiling_face:

Hi @DanniS , I was visiting. Our government is allowing us to start to go out, and the lock down because of Covid is less restricted. The city of Ponce is huge, and Beautiful. I used to work there, but now I work next to my home, in Gurabo. In Puerto Rico, everything is close. You can plan a Road trip and visit a lot of places and cities in half day: and enjoy Food, Drink, beaches , or inner part of the Island. Most of the Puertoricans do all that during the weekends. Thats what we call “chinchoreo”.
