Yesterday was a long day for me, and now I'm paying for that. I started the day at the gym at 8 am, that was the gym without air conditioner in the summer, near desert heat we're living with in Puerto Rico right now. (The power was out.) After the gym I came home, changed … Continue reading This morning I woke up feeling like I had a hangover

It seemed everyone was at the beach in San Juan and probably in the rest of Puerto Rico today; this is very normal on Easter or Semana Santa.

We have to talk about food tonight. There are these amazing places in Puerto Rico called lechoneras, which means they make lechón asado or pork. Sounds good right? Well, it is, very good! My favorite lechonera is El Cuñao in the town of Cayey, where we went for lunch today. It was a last minute thing but … Continue reading We have to talk about lechón asado
Tonight, as we were walking our dogs,, there was this van pulling out of the driveway of a hotel. Out of nowhere the man stops the van and asks us, do you want bread?" What?

For the last two weeks we have been celebrating because our baseball team, #teamrubio, had an amazing journey in the World Baseball Classic.

I could never hit the … Continue reading 2017 World Baseball Classic
Today was an exiting day for Indi and Sandy; after the morning walk we decided to take them to the beach for the first time. They had walked through the beach in their morning walks on weekends, but today we didn't walk by the beach, we actually went to the beach. When we got there … Continue reading First trip to the beach
When I was growing up we used to go to this park where we could run around all day, there were swings, a lot of trees, grass to run around in and get covered in dirt and anything else we could find.

As we were leaving old San Juan yesterday a little after lunch hour, we tried to find somewhere to have lunch. Among all the restaurants in San Juan, most of them serving Puerto Rican food, we ended up in Istanbul. As you may figure by the name, Istanbul is a Turkish restaurant. Here, their menu … Continue reading Istanbul Turkish Restaurant in San Juan
If you are in Puerto Rico this weekend, you have to go to San Juan and visit las Fiestas de la calle San Sebastián. It is the perfect way to start the year and will be the party of the year. Music, food, vejigantes, cabezudos, piraguas; what can be better than that? Just a bacalaito, … Continue reading Don’t miss Sanse’ 17
