Puerto Rico

Bill and I celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary in Puerto Rico. We stayed at a beautiful hotel in San Juan, ate well, visited quaint neighborhoods, and enjoyed meeting local people. We even climbed around a fort or two.


Hurricane Maria washed that all away. I think about the people we met on the beach and at the hotel and whether they still have homes to live in, or even food and water to sustain them through this nightmare.


All of the news reports confirm that the devastation has been unimaginable.


We need to come together to help the people of Puerto Rico to be safe and rebuild.

It is not the "Wonderful World" Satchmo sang off...

So much tragedy, and so much continued denial.

The "Good" far far far outweighs the "Bad" is this glorious world of ours. Your thoughtfulness about Puerto Rico is a great example of this. If we all just become more conscious of the beings around us and what they are going through, awareness will increase and the world will get brighter and brighter. Change is inevitable.

I agree. We were there once. A beautiful place and a part of the US. We need to be there for them.

Beautiful place. Glad Elon Musk is helping. I donated some funds. Just a drop in the bucket but everything helps!
