Puerto Rico blog May 15, 2019
Upon entry in PR:
Seems far closer to my ideal society than Cuba or mainland USA does!
No huge police presence.
No huge government presence.
Things seem to work.
Laughter! :)
Capitalism works.
So much to think, see, do, try, say, etc.
Things often go "wrong," mistakes happen, etc., but you find ways to travel.
By the way, I think I'm a solid fit for travel, or travel for me.
There's even a subway in San Juan, apparently! :)
Apparently it's hard to get decent Airbnb directions in PR, too. :)
So far Puerto Rico seems like a bigger, more modern society than I would have guessed.
Pop. 5 million? 3 million.
I want to spend a couple of weeks catching up, exploring town, working, meeting people, eating, etc.
Then, maybe a month or two expanding throughout the city.
Then maybe a month or two seeing the rest of the country.
Then maybe boat to Dominican Republic, ride to Haiti? Return to PR?
See if other ferries. Can maybe make PR a base.
Seems like a dense enough country to supply interest for some time, m a few months.
Fresh new country! :)
Part of America. I'll probably get annoyed at the American stuff again soonish. For now it's a breath of fresh air! :)
I'm going for a more tolerant attitude, towards people, places, activities, etc., in PR.
I like small towns.
Big cities can be too loud.
First settle in! :)
Out from the Cuban internet blockade! :)
