I am joining in for Debbie's Foto Friends.
Puerto Rico is a jewel hovering between the Atlantic and the Caribbean.
She is beautiful, amazing and the people are wonderful.
Here are some photos from my daughter's trip there in early July.
The Famous Anonymous Kid has a pen pal there they went to meet. These girls are like two peas in a pod and hit it off as if they had spent their lives together as sisters.
The photos do not do the Caribbean justice. It is neon turquoise and just amazingly crystal clear.
The people of Puerto Rico are friendly and hospitable.

| Christopher Columbus who arrived in Puerto Rico November 19, 1493 |
Both Christopher Columbus and Ponce De Leon are beloved in Puerto Rico.
As we learned it in school: "In Fourteen Hundred and Ninety Two, Columbus sailed the ocean blue" on three ships: the Nina, the Pinta and the Santa Maria.
