I have noted that Puerto Ricans are colorful people. They like to draw and paint grafiti on any available surface. They like to outline things as well. During the day you can see spray-painted outlines of stopsigns, streetsigns and poles on the ground. Check out the pictures.
DAY
NIGHT
...and it's like that all over town.
Watch out for Pigeons!! They're every where!!!!
There was a neat heat lightning storm the other day.
So, there are some customs here that are quite different than back home. When men and women great each other they kiss on the cheek. A simple hand shake or pat on the shoulder would suffice but they like to be touchy-feely! Another custom is to say "Buen Provecho" before eating. It means "enjoy your meal" or something to that effect. The odd thing would be is that strangers will say it to you. For instance, I was sitting in a restaurant having a meal and as people left they said "buen provecho" to me. It's weird to have a stranger wish you a good meal.
I plan to go to Old San Juan next week and explore. Expect pictures!
