La Perla at a Distance from El Morro

La Perla at a Distance!

We were visiting El Morro Fort which has a historical connection to my family heritage.

At a distance, I did my best to capture the colors of La Perla.

Way before Daddy Yankee's Despacito, La Perla has been the cultural hub of many arts. Before the Hurricane Despacito helped La Perla become a Tourist Spot, after the hurricane there have been and are multiple efforts to help the residents of La Perla rebuild.

La Perla serves as a quick reminder of the many Puerto Ricans that live in poverty before and after Hurricane Maria but are very proud of what they have and work as a community to overcome whatever challenges they have.

Early Spring at Isla Verde Beach

The date gets closer for us to move from Isla Verde Beach.

The photos I have taken over a period of more than four years will serve as a way to remember this great experience.

Living on the beach was something I always wanted to do. Having the opportunity to live this dream is truly exceptional.

My daughter can say she woke up for most of her first years in this world looking at the Ocean and enjoying Beach life in the Caribbean.

Having been brought up in the Inner City around crime. I am exceptionally proud of the efforts myself, and my partner does to make sure our daughter has a better chance at life than we did.

Porta Coeli Church In San German

As a Kid, I fell in love with understanding history.  The town of San German can take some credit in nurturing that love for history.

One of the highlights of every summer vacation visiting the Island was stopping her in San German’s Porta Coeli.

Also known as the Convent church, or El Convento de Santo Domingo de Porta Coeli in Spanish is one of the oldest church structures in the western hemisphere.

A week ago I made an unplanned stop in San German.

For that reason, I had to stop at Porta Coeli, so I could my daughter the experience of seeing this old structure.

My daughter enjoyed looking at this cute and historic building.
