Theres one thing about me

You may not know

I do not judge

You may have done wrong to the world

You may have done wrong to yourself

But I take you as you are

Start from scratch

A brand new page

As long as you don’t mess up with me

You are fine with me

Theres things about you that I may not approve of

Theres things about you that I may not want to take part in

However, You’re still a person to me

The day you LIE disrespect or hurt me

That’s it.

That’s the day that I call it quits

Take my lesson and go

Karma will return the favor to you

typical cuban boy

two hundred and forty seven

even when i'm not traveling with her

my closet always seems to get smaller and have more space

on another note.

don't  call any girl a bitch

when you say and mean it

it hurts 

hurts hard

especially when it comes from a guy

and guy that you respect and look up to very much

I'm having withdrawals.

two hundred and thirty two

So, as our adventure comes to an end

What's the best way to end this little trip of ours

UNDER THE INFLUENCE

at the Bacardi Distillery 

Free rum all around!

since we weren't really allowed to take pictures of the tour

I of course took some illegal shots!

this would be just a bunch of old rum with signatures of all a lot of 

important people and important original Bacardi rum

original documents

one of the many lessons learned

usually dark rum, is aged rum

wall of rum

even though we get into arguments

and you drive me completely bonkeRS!

i love you

at times

;)

Did you know?

Puerto Rico only has ONE Subway on the island?

ha

psych!

try 250!

there's more Subway's than Mcdonalds!

yukkkk

and of course 

what better way to end this amazing trip than to end it with a 3 hour flight delay 

downing 2 pitchers of beer with my favorite person

:)

after all the laughs

screams

views

boys

scares

adventures

buzzes

bumpy roads

horrible drivers

interesting cops

delicious foods

I'll miss you

till the next time,

Puerto Rico.

two hundred and thirty

Spanish Coke anyone?

at least they understand when you ask for Diet Coke!

yes, 

I am slightly obessesed with ALL the food I ate in Puerto Rico!

Ham and Cheese Sandwich on Mallorca Bread.

I look cute huh?

here's the picture

hold it 

frame it

treasure it

because I will NOT be holding a baby of my own

for a 

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG 

TIME!

I'm too busy traveling the world 

living out my dreams

fulfilling my bucket list

partying my life away

and showing my dad that my mothers side of the family

taught me how to chug 7 beers and still just get a buZZ on.

unfortunately,

we don't have any pictures of the most beautiful scene in Puerto Rico

after canoeing our way through dark waters, mangroves, coquis, on-coming canoes and boaters

you reach one of the most beautiful scenes that earth provides us with.

above you is a dark starry night

the type you only read about in books but can never see on a regular day

and under you is dark crystal sparkling waters 

that when you agitate the water

all you see 

is beautiful glow of blue where eve the fish glow in the water.

It was truly an amazing site.

followed by of course

and amazing laugh

of catching a little bit of A.D.D and sort of, kind of, making us crash into some mangroves.

but hey, 

at least we didn't fall in the water 

like El Gordo y El Flaco did!

two hundred and thirty

TIP OF THE DAY:

When going uphill on a mountain

make sure to check if you have 

GAS!

i must say,

as evil as this is

this incident brought the

BIGGEST 

smile to my face!!!!

and as we didn't make it up to El Yunque

and not because of gas

but because of weather conditions

we did make it to the Cascada La Coca

small and petite

but still beautiful

but definitely

not as amazing as the waterfall from earlier in the trip 

and some pretty views

trying different beers 

Medalla Light

ever had ketchup and mayo mixed together?

well in Puerto Rico, 

its a condiment already done

on everything!

sandwiches, 

mozzarella sticks, 

papitas, 

everything

just ask for majukechu

see the 

asitas de colores con la ventana abierta?

thats our ghetto yo!

looks better from afar

trust me

looks CAN BE DECEIVING

BOMBS AWAY

in El Morro

deseas algodon?

What to do when your stuck in El Viejo San Juan traffic jam with my fathers driving skills?

quick,

get off the car and go get a famous tripleta!!!

ingredients contain:

ham, chicken, pork

ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise

cheese

and wrapped in the ultimate deliciousness of Puerto Rican bread

I'm a true fanatic of Cuban food

but Puerto Rican bread

stole my heart!

of course the day doesn't end

Soltera? o Comprometida?

SOLTERA!

too bad it wasn't our kind of bar so we left to the next one.

drinking in Puerto Rico

SOOOOOOO

much cheaper than Miami

say hello to $5 Jaeger shots! 

and say hello to our escorts for the evening.

except they weren't kissing each other.

thats why we left the first bar

;)

and finishing off the night with drinks, cute boys, best friend, dancing, and karaoke!
