BOCA BETH: One Song at a Time

This is so amazing…………….  I am blogging while sitting at a table in the beautiful Lobby of the Rio Mar Wyndham Resort in Rio Grande, Puerto Rico.  There is hip-swaying, Latin music blaring from the Lobby Bar, my Latino/Latina friends are doing the salsa, the ramba, the merengue y mas/more, but I felt compelled to share before we end our family vacation here in Puerto Rico.

Yo tengo muchas amigas de aqui y ahora puedo entender porque quieren salir para otra vida mejor - otra vida llena de oportunidad.  I have many friends from here and now I understand why they want to leave for a better life - a life full of opportunity. 

Don’t get me wrong - it is an island of beauty, of many natural wonders and mysteries.  But, what it also has, is poverty, crime, crazy driving and a feel all of its own.  I could not live here and be the positive person that I am.  It’s been a terrific family vacation at a lovely resort that does not replicate the life these people live.

I thank God, I thank my husband, my family and my life for what I have.

Buenas noches Puerto Rico - Good Night Puerto Rico -
