Charger Connection Page 6 Spanish Classes' Trip to Puerto Rico A group consisting of Spanish students and parents traveled to Puerto Rico during the IWA mini break. Their itinerary was a busy one, visiting three towns (Rio Grande, Fajardo, Luquillo) and two cities (San Juan, Ponce) in five days. This is the second time that Sra. Rodríguez and Sra. Castillo chaperoned a group to this beautiful island. After landing in San Juan, they quickly got acquainted with Puerto Rico’s historic capital city while on a bus tour around the city, stopping for a few minutes at the port of San Juan. The next day, the group headed to Old San Juan where they visited El Morro Fortress, Plaza San José, Plaza de Colón, La Fortaleza (the Governor's mansion), Capilla del Cristo, the San Juan Cathedral, and other historical and touristic places. They started their third day at El Yunque in Rio Grande, the only tropical rain forest in the U.S. Forest Service, where some of them waded at the La Mina Waterfall. They also stopped at La Coca Waterfall for a photo opportunity, and climbed the Yokahu Observation Tower for a panoramic view of the rainforest. The next stop was Los Kioskos de Luquillo for some authentic Puerto Rican food and frituras (fritters/fried food). Then, the group headed to Luquillo Beach with its beautiful turquoise and calm waters. After dinner,they went to the Bioluminescent Bay in Fajardo for a kayak trip through the mangroves in the dark and then into the lagoon to experience this natural phenomenon. The next day they traveled to Ponce, Puerto Rico’s second largest city. Their first stop was El Vigia, where they enjoyed a beautiful panoramic view of the city, strolled through the Japanese Garden, and visited the Serralles Castle. They continued to Ponce, to Plaza Las Delicias, and its beautiful fountain. There, they visited El Parque de Bombas, the first fire station on the island, now a museum. After lunch, they stepped back in time at Tibes Indigenous Ceremonial Park. They ended the day with a visit to the Ponce Museum of Art and La Guancha (Ponce’s boardwalk overlooking the Caribbean Sea). On the last day, Sra. Castillo took some of the members of the group to watch the sunrise, before heading back to Virginia. It was a hectic trip, but a great experience for all.

  • 2011 Yeraly Event Callendar
    Puerto Rico 2011 Yearly Event Calendar January - Puerto Rico Baseball Season - November/December/January Puerto Rican professional teams compete at the Hiram Bithorn Stadium in San Juan and in other parks throughout the island. - Festival de la Calle de San Sebastían This festival sponsored by the Institute for Puerto Rican Culture, take place in San Sebastian street for three days, celebrating Puerto Rican culture with a full program of parades, folkloric dances, music, food and crafts. San Juan - Dia de los Reyes Three Kings Day is the traditional gift-giving holiday on the island, commemorates the day that the three Wise Men brought gifts to the Christ child. In La Fortaleza the governor honors the tradition by handing out gifts to island children. Forget Santa Claus! In Puerto Rico, as in much of the Latin world, the Three Kings rule the Christmas season. Puerto Ricans celebrate December 25, but the most important day of the season falls on January 6, El Día de los Tres Reyes Magos, or Three Kings Day. A typical island tradition calls for children to gather grass and place it in a box at the foot of their beds, so that the camels of the Three Kings will have something to eat when they come to visit. While it is a revered holiday throughout Puerto Rico, nobody does Three Kings Day quite like the small, southern town of Juana Diaz, who’s Three Kings tour the island before making the voyage home. February - Carnaval de Ponce - Devilish vejigantes patrol the streets in their masks and colorful costumes at Ponce's annual carnival.

  • Nickel City Shakedown
    NICKEL CITY SHAKEDOWN By Gary Earl Ross WHY WE LIKE IT: A confidently written mini-mystery full of laughs and swagger. We like the characters, the details of setting, the author’s easy-going loping prose and the seamless English/Spanish parlance. Stories in the mystery/private dick genre are often known for their wise-cracking, smart ass dialogue and in Nickel City Shakedown the author takes his place with the best of them. “That would appeal to the eleven-year-old strapped into your brain’s back seat.” “You know me so well,” I said. AND “Ah, un caballero andante in the modern world!” Fernando said, clapping his hands together. He looked at Phoenix. “What do you call it in English?” “A knight-errant,” Phoenix said. “But don’t call him that or we’ll never get his head through the doorway.” Just wonderful junk. Oh, and thanks to Gideon Rimes, we discovered a rum we’d never heard of. Nickel City Shakedown A Gideon Rimes Short Story by Gary Earl Ross For Ramona and Digna Christmas in Puerto Rico sounded like the perfect escape from a Buffalo winter, so I didn’t hesitate to agree when Phoenix Trinidad proposed spending two weeks there. But she continued pitching the idea long after she closed the sale. “A few days in San Juan,” she said over dinner at La Kueva. It was a crisp night in early November, but it was warm inside the small restaurant, despite large plate glass windows that permitted a view of passersby on Hertel Avenue buttoned, bundled, and scarved against Nickel City wind.
