Cowboys Are Frequently Secretly Fond of Each Other.

Puerto Rico, I'm sorry I'm such an ass.

I was under the completely mistaken view that because Puerto Rico is an extension of the US that it would somehow seem...well...more USian. It's more typically Caribbean with extremes of haves and have nots. And a lot of the balconies look like wrought iron bird cages.

I'm ashamed at my complete and utter ignorance. I now have a burning desire to learn to speak Spanish.

I'm really, really glad we didn't just stay at the resort that hosted Christopher's conference. We flew in early and spent two nights at a cheap hotel in San Juan (close to the beach). That gave us a much more realistic view of the city and the island, I think.

I'm also glad I found a chupacabra t-shirt for The Cross Chihuahua.
