Blog 2: The best vacation or concert ever

Hi everyone!

Today I am going to talk about the best vacation ever. In March 2014, I went to Puerto Rico with my mom and brother. We were there for about a week and it was so much fun.

Although, We had travelled to Puerto Rico before, this time it was particularly fun and special. We visited our friend, Oriana, who is Chilean and has a gift shop in old San Juan city. She went to Puerto Rico after Pinochet's coup in 1973. We met her in a trip we did in 2007 when I got my first ear-pierced! We went into her store and my mom saw that she was selling alpargartas and started talking and then she realized that she was Chilean! Oriana gave me two little rings and one said Chile on them. We didn't keep in contact, but when we came back in this trip, we went to her store and there she was and she remembered me! We exchanged Facebook information and are still in contact today :)

Some of the fun things we did were going to the movies, swimming in the ocean, and exploring San Juan city. There is a book store that I really like because in the United States I could never find books in Spanish and in this trip I bought books by Eduardo Galeano and Gioconda Belli. 

I really like going to Puerto Rico because from the United States it is easy and cheap to visit and also I like how they mix Spanish and English together. Hurricane Maria devasted the island and many people died (at first they said 64 and and in the end it was almost 3,000!). Many towns were left without drinking water and electricity. Our friend Oriana was ok, but the situation was terrible. I also think that Puerto Rico deserves to be an independent nation and not a US colony. I hope I can return someday soon!! Oriana has a shop right where all the massive protests were against Roselló (the now ex-governor) Here is a picture of the street Fortaleza where the shop is and where the protests took place

Hope you enjoyed my blog!
