I have to be the one with every solution and every answer. It doesn’t matter if I have a headache or if I am busy or if I am waiting for a result… My peace is always disturbed in a daily basis by the stupidities of people and orcs. Common sense is dead. It seems that it is extremely hard to actually make those little brain cells move and transmit energy and action… It drives me mad, it drives me insane! It is NOT easy to try nurturing patience when the toll of years let you realize that by now THAT’s exactly what you must accept because THAT’s exactly what can be expected… Is it? NO. I am so sorry, but NO. I CANNOT have stupidity and illogical unthoughtful behaviour around me SIMPLY because I have too many things to do and cannot allow myself to be bothered with such nuisances! A word of advise, to anyone: Bring me problems WITH solutions if not solved. Not more stress. Not more thinks that drain me. Not more work or bad energy. Because if not DO NOT expect me to put a happy face, or to be understanding, or to be lovely… Because “no es lo mucho sino lo seguidito”, and by now I ran out of Patience pills!

Which Disney Character is your Alter Ego? created with QuizFarm.com |
Todays activity went smoothly. I remembered to layout the food... I almost forgot... Jehjeh... Got the gift wrap and the cute lazos, cut the cake in even 25 pieces, helped the conference lady with the presentation, gave her the gift and cake, and day 2 is over. Made the agenda for today and tomorrow... Hope things run fast tomorrow as well...
I have migraine. My eyes wanna pop out. My brain is pulsing like a mad racer. And as I arrived home, I realized Crowito was caged from morning to afternoon and the poor kid peed on the taxi... Had to give him a bath so he smelled fresh again. Headache got worst. The A/C seems NOT to be working well, either I have high blood pressure OR it aint working... Whatever... No word from Coriolis or Trilogy. Lucinda is alive, her kids screaming and sick... the usual. :P Wrote some letters, chatting with a friend, and soon will head to my bed.
El Calvo will give tomorrows charla, so THAT will be grrrrrrrrrrreat!

 | You scored as Postmodernist. Postmodernism is the belief in complete open interpretation. You see the universe as a collection of information with varying ways of putting it together. There is no absolute truth for you; even the most hardened facts are open to interpretation. Meaning relies on context and even the language you use to describe things should be subject to analysis.

Opinions are like assholes (everyone has one). I respect some ideas even if I passionately believe against them. Thats what free will is for... I just have a humble point: Mockery about issues that are clearly important to a group of people, ANY group, is simply wrong. I can joke, and I love sarcasm, but time and place should be taken into account. A quien le caiga el sayo que se lo ponga. Coño!
Today I went shopping for the activities for the Secretaries Week... next week... Got a nice budget made of sparkling 80 dollars that should be enough for: recordatories, gifts, rifa, decoration, invitations... Ok... I have many skills, but pppppplease!!! Got things for the recordatories... got the deco. Will manage a candy-stuffed thinguie as gift and still need to get rifa stuff and the invitations papers... Nice, nice... Only 5 box left AND cannot give any myself because I have no money at all. Guess they'll just have to manage with what I have... I will try compensating lack of goodies with some creative stuff... We'll see...
So... Visited auntie. This morning she had a clash against a big cienpié. Thanks to her 6th sense, she was looking all the time at the floor after she got up, and as she went to the living room... wham! the big, fat, ugly critter was crawling under the dining room's table. She attacked it flawlessly, earning 5 xp. Yayyyy!!! 80 years, and she can still kick ass! I love her. She is my hero. I mean that with all my heart.
Visited El Calvo in the evening. BTW, creepy lovely moon in the skies! Anyway, conversation was so good that I lost track of time until the Witching Hour arrived. Talk about experiences (he has some uncanny funny stories)... and ghosts and spirits and decor for a girls wedding and amazing things stupid people do. It was a blast. It is funny, I think, that everyone around me has a ghost or two taking care of them... well, sort of... Yet I have none... Not even ghosts or spirits like me... LOL I can be THAT kind of handfull! :D I was confirmed of the fact of rotten apples within the so called close family circle... not a surprise because by now I know that the truest enemies are always at a hands reach. I'm cautious, I know my enemy, and I feel for them. I can defy anything they throw at me because I only need one defender, and HE is always within me and around me. I joke alot, I am a brat and a fool sometimes, and a rebel without knowing it... but I truly believe in GOD and I put good and bad in his hands. I do not have to harm anyone because bad people learn in this life... So I have witnessed... and it makes me feel compassion for them... So much struggle to take away what little I have (I got no riches but my knowledge and my will), to take what little my aunt has... to drive her mad... But God has placed a shield to protect the ones that didn't know or didn't expect, or didn't deserve. As crazy as I am, I know GOD exists, I feel him in my heart, and in HIM I trust all I am and all I will be.
It's nice in the last two days I've been recalling my childhood... And it was good. I was raised by loving parents who taught me true values and to believe in who I am (my uncle and my aunt, whom I am always mad at their decision NOT to adopt me... They should have). I was happy, they never hit me, I was raised with innocense and within a world in which Santa Claus and the Three Kings lived on for 15 years believe it or not... They brought the best in me. Although I never forgive my uncle for divorcing my aunt, I love him. And I deeply love her, because she put me before her own life in so many ways. I owe her my depht of soul and thougth.
I am sad about my deceptions in love... Trilogy, Coriolis and Groundel each had a special something that forever will be unique within my heart... And I love all of them because I guess that the three of them make the perfect man... And they make me sad, because nothing ever goes as I expect... no matter how much I try... no matter how important they are for me... I guess even sadness can be a good thing, because just when I thought I coud feel nothing, something happens that makes me feel... And that matters. I guess it is what counts... Feeling. As long as there is a beating heart, there is hope... And I keep never ending hopes for impossible dreams to come true.
Anyway... Gotta sleep. Plenty to do, so little time...

Ok… So in the afternoon there will be a reunion about next week’s events for the Secretaries Week. Why people get so… anxious? Especially when they are NOT doing the program and putting together ALL the events? Geesh! This should be fun… At least I will have 2 people giving nice conferences on Thu, and Friday’s big event is outside this place SO I will NOT have to make any big decoration. I’m thinking of going TikiGod on the deco for Mon-Thu brunchs and activities… I think that’s fun, and easy to paint, and can buy most stuff. We’ll see how that turns out.
Yesterday… What a headache!!! My car got a flat tire, and it was plain chaos released. The equipment my car brought from its days at the dealer was nightmarish to put together. Groundel was left with no strength, I was left pissed and with no strength, the guard at work was left sweating and with no strength… Finally a gal from BK stopped and took a big, powerful, simple tool that lifted the friggin car in a jiffy and the gusrd was able to put the tire… Amen… Left work’s parking by six… Meaning: I missed my appointment with Hechicera… it was at 5pm… And I missed the appointment with the Realtor at 7pm. I was so pissed because no one gives me the right facts or explanations of what is going on, I jump to the extreme conclusions because of it, then I get upset because as always I must solve the problems or give logical solutions and then I must try not to be loud and control my temper because after all it was an accident… But damnit, every accident happens with my car and not while I drive! Geesh!
Breath in- breath out…
Groundel won’t study in June and July, so I hope that he can find a way to take the driver’s test and FINALLY have a LICENSE, because if not he will have to HIKE in August to school at Cabo Rojo. ‘Nuff said.
My whole body aches. Yesterday morning I threw 4 cables, and the afternoon-tire-workout left me exhausted. I was sleeping by 7pm. Today, as I woke up, I realized yes… My neck is there… My arms are there… My back is there… And my legs are definitively there… Every movement hurts, but no point in complaining. Just tried to put together comfy clothing and then off to work… That “trapecio” of mine will never be the same… I know. It is very annoying that little things make me so weak and even helpless… And to think I used to lift weights…
Whatever. It’s Friday, and my San Juan journey was spoiled… Never mind that. I have only $2.33 on my account, next payday is next Friday and gotta eat and feed the car and my 8 kitties… Lovely…
Trilogy said he wanted to do something after 9pm… Let’s see if he appears, as we all know, he is sooo reliable and constant… Don’t know if Joe will make it to the Shire to meet LS… Coriolis is playing housewife and seems to love it. He should get a woman who works and pay the bills while he stays at home and rise the kids… LOL Either that or get a job at McD. And hopefully Lucinda’s headache is gone.
This promises to be a dull weekend. Can’t go nowhere because I need a new tire, and have no cash… Cannot rent movies… I guess it will be The Sims weekend, and B&B up all night…

Yesterday's attempt to go and visit Gilligan Isle was fouled by a big bus with tourists/students. The island can take only 250 guests, and the quota was full. So, right next to the place was Caña Gorda's beach and we decided to stay there. Believe it or not I had never been there, and so I was very surprised at all the facilities. I loved the fact the water was not deep, there were kiosks and bathrooms and security and a lifeguard... They even have chair rental and a souvenir store for tourists. Spet the morning and half the aternoon there with Lulu, Ito, and Groundel. Afterwards, went to see El Calvo for a little while, and then finally headed home. Browsed the net for gothic stuff, tried to get rid of the blues and went to sleep.
Today I was suppossed to work on Annies site, but I was too tired and feeling lazy. Went to get color for my hair, since the beach left me blonde which I hate... Went to my auntie's to get provisions, and to get a leaf of aloe plant because I burned my back. And headed back home... Here I am sitting in my sofa, writing as my hair is covered by a golden cap underneath a heating cap... Medium-rare... LOL Will style it within an hur or so, and check if Jazzin is better than old Manic Panic... At least it seemed like that went I put it on... Tried to find Wella's Pure Red to make the red core more permanent but they didnt have it... Decoré was not available either. There is a japanese or chinese brand called Dmax or Xmax something like that... I have read it is permanent but I dont know... Not available here and it is a bit of a risk... Anyhow, hope the Jazzin experiment works... looked like Vampire Red... We'll see.
Called Lucinda last night and her car misbehaved at Ponce leaving her without the money for the bills... Oh... Well... She should've told me. I would've taken her over there. No big deal... I know her car IS a mess... Anyway, I hope she was not stranded for the whole night, even though if she made it it must have been at midnight... Ewwww...
Coriolis is missing in action just like Trilogy. When they call, if they call, it is to say they'll call later and then they dont call until 5 days later... Oh, seems both took the same course at the same university... The had to have something in common, huh?
Mr.Joe and Ms.LightShadow should be in the middle of something kinky, or watching a movie. I couldn't make it to Mordor, was not in the mood... I am in cave-troll mode today... Not feeling too friendly...
Tomorrow will be a holiday, Jose de Diego, one of my favorite persons because he was a poet, very intelligent and Aries. Just like me. Jehjehjeh...Will work with the site and meet with Hechicera for some business talk... Days are flying... Damn!
BTW, got the gifts from stepmom & dad. Loved the turqueise set, and the red wallet. Both were good bets on things I like. Thank-u both! :)
Retreating. Looking at medieval light fixtures and deco ideas... Me and my Dungeons obsession... Some things never change...

 | You scored as True Vampire. You have the mind set to be a true vampire, but do you have the soul?
What kind of vampire would you be created with QuizFarm.com |
Take the quiz: " Which Egyptian God or Goddess do you represent? (Pictures!)"
Ra, the Sun God
Ra was considered self-created, and the creator of all. He was the Sun God, making him one of the most powerful gods of ancient Egypt. Many worshipped him and depended on him.
You may be a bit arrogant. Perhaps you have reason to. Perhaps you are fantastic like Ra and deserve to be worshipped like he felt he needed to be. Odds are, though, that you are just arrogant and you need to work on that. It isn't ancient Egypt anymore, and people don't like you.
Take the quiz: "What is your Paranormal gift?"
Control of Fire
You're a little pyro, arn't you? Fire attracts you and you've learned how to control it, or even create that pretty little flicker of red, orange, and blue light. Be careful, though, you could set your friends, family, or even yourself on fire... try doing that to the enemies.
Take the quiz: "How Will You Die(Brutal Pics)"
Murdered
you will probably be killed because you fuck with people

Last night, even if Groundel was having tummy trouble, I managed to drag him to Chilis to celebrate my sis's birthday. So, sis & her hubby and Groundel and me ate a very nice meal and had some fun listening to each other's tales. Sis seems very happy, and I am glad for her. I left Groundel at the apartment because he needed to be tied up to a bathroom, and went on following my sis to her new home in Cabo Rojo. It is a pretty place, pretty house with pretty stuff. She's definitively showing some taste in her furniture and decor. The doggie is cute too. When the grass comes up it will make the house glow. :)
Today I traveled to Aguadilla to check a PC problem. Had lunch with two people that are very dear to me: Candy and Wally. Candi's mom will have an eye operation on Monday, good luck with that. Wally is as usual a bundle of stress about work, but that one is a little touch woman.
Tonight I hope to watch some B&B and go to sleep early. Tomorrow will be a loooong day! Thinking of going to SJ on Sunday, maybe... since Monday is a holiday. Not sure yet, depends on how tired I get. Would like to visit the Salvation Army dock...

Ok, today turned into My FRIGGIN EYE DAY, besides being my sis's B-day. So... Happy B-day 2 U, HappyB-Day to U Happy Bday Happy Bday... Happy B Day 2 UUUUUUUUU!!!
Why My Friggin Eye day? Well, last night as I was going to rest before beginning my nightly session of Internet submission I put the fan in my direction and as i layed down something came out of the fan and hit my eye. Something... Something small, something wicked, something VERY anoying... I tried eye drops, and even the sline solution but whatever it was would NOT come out of my eye. I tried using a q-tip as I saw a white point as i inspected the upper lid, but nothing... So I went to sleep hoping that by morning the Thing would be off my eyes...
Morning arrived. The White thing was still there. I went to work almost blind... A co-worker mentioned eye baths and I thought that yes, THAT could be a great solution. Off I went to the pharmacy, my hopes in high, and I bought the eye bath thinguie. I used it every half hour during the morning, but by midday my eye was still bothering me and it was getting red. Since I had nothing to eat, I pushed myself into a group and went to the local Mall. Ass I ordered I asked a co-worker to take my meal while I went to the grocery store (I knew there was an eye doctor there).
I ran like Lola, and went to the designated place. To my dismay the eye place was empty... kaput, it was no more. For a minute my mind went blank as the pain in my right eye increased. I looked across the avenue and saw a local chain store. And the idea enlightened me... They had an eye store within the store... So, against all odds I ran to the store, stopping traffic and everything. The place was almost empty, and the eye doc was having lunch... but I guess she took pity on me. As I explained she took me inside her office and checked my eye. Oh, yes, she found the white thinguie and my eye became FREEEEEEEEEE, FREE at LAST!!! And she didn't asked for me to pay... Lucky, huh? I ran back to get my food and everyone was amazed at how fast I did everything... Damn, I was in pain... Duh!
So, there... That was the exciting moment of the day. Now, going home...

Ok, you remember Fred Flintstone, when things happened to him and he started getting smaller and smaller and smaller? Weeeell… Something like that happened to me today. This girl comes into my office saying that my boss had my other boss in the phone and that he needed to talk to me. So I went very fast towards the area where the office is… Everyone had gathered to surprise me because of my birthday. I didn’t realize until I saw every eye on me, and then I went like “No, you didn’t…”I had to laugh. Simple but it was nice. I felt a bit embarrassed at first but said some words and then digged in the cake! So, I had a b-cake after all! Cool! :)

The report of the missing child (yes, me!):
Friday: MY BIRTHDAYYYYYYYYYYY!!!
Also, the day I had to travel to the lands of Mordor to get the house papers to Retiro and make the balls roll. :D At midday I was done, Retiro accepted my paers and now I have to wait until a tasador evaluates the case, blah blah. I hope it all is done before May 12. Fingers crossed.
So, Plaza Las Americas at 12pm. Needed coins to call the people I wanted to meet, so went to Borders, got books, called, no one was available, went to Sbarro, HotTopic, Borders and made other calls… Nothing. So, Groundel and me seated in front of the book place for 3 hours. I read the books I bought, and made a call… Coriolis appeared. Ironically, he had been in Plaza, he had gone to HT and he had eaten at Sbarro. Coincidence? No. We are simply THAT predictable. Anyway, we finally met, then went to Carolina to wait for Joe. We decided to eat at Friday’s, and so we hibernated there for an hour, joked, had fun, Joe arrived, we had even more fun, and then splitted. Coriolis went away, and Groundel, Joe and me went to Joe’s apartment… house… whatever… so he could get his stuff so he would travel with us back to the lovely Shire.
As we departed Mordor, Joe’s world crashed down as he realized his worst nightmare came true: his cellular phone was not in his pocket. The torment and delirium that he foresaw after that realization dictated his next moves… Buahahahahah… Anyway, we went back to the Shire arriving at midnight, safe and sound. And we went to sleep right away, because another endeavour was planned for the next day…
Saturday: Cuevas de Camuy
We all get up at 8am, I made the right calls and at 10 Sara and her gang appeared at my house. LS was already there, and we all went on to fulfill the goal of traveling to Camuy to see the caverns. The travel was smooth, Joe, LightShadow, Groundel and me in one car… Sara, her 2 brats and her granny in her car. I knew the way, so no problems there. Coriolis couldn’t make it, and another girl didn’t arrive, but it didn’t matter, we had a good time.
We arrived and got the tickets and then had to wait because when the group departed the little “train”had been overbooked. So, we waited, and since Sara and co. could not enter when we did we started looking for them throughout the park to no avail. We finally took a lunch break at 1:30pm, fed a bitch and received the call to get on the next “train” that finally arrived. As we were boarding I realized I lost my ticket, and was automatically pissed, but they let me board (thank God to that, because each ticket is $10 box…). Joe enjoyed all the twists and turns to get down to the caverns entrance.
As we set food inside, I was in awe. I never imagined the place would be so beautiful. It had been worth the wait. The caverns are huge, and the rock formations are astonishing. The diverse views are always different, and the air and vegetation transport you to another world… It seemed to me that pixies and gnomes would sprout out of nowhere, or that the rabbit would run screaming that he was late… LOL It was a fun 1hour walk… An exercise that Joe loved. :P After the inside walk, we went on to meet Sara and co., who had been forced into a tour without us.
Anyway, we all were hungry, and so we left the land of the Dwarves. I followed a car and got to the right road… Yup, I do that when I don’t really know where I am going… just follow the road that has most traffic… LOL I am soooo reliable as a guide… We went to Plaza del Norte, and then had a nice meal at Chili’s. Afterwards, we headed to the Shire once more…
LS and Joe rented a movie, Groundel and me went to say hi to my aunt and get my cake… (my mother had bought me a cake on Friday and they waited for me, but since I didn’t knew I kinda didn’t rush my voyage to San juan… got the messages in the phone… ?… Oh, well…) Anyway, got the cake, got my aunt’s blessing and went home. I had 10 messages. Daddy and MaLuisa called to say Happy Bday, LadyMex, Trilogy, my aunt… Then I had an hour long talk with Ladymex that left me in an insane mood. I ended up screaming to Joe, and then got a lecture about that. The good thing is the lecture made me really sleepy… I didn’t mean to lash out on anyone. I just needed to scream because if not I wouldn’t have slept. That much I know. I’m sorry I screw up the last hours of the day… Just erase that, and it was a great, fun day.
At 1am there was a call. Trilogy said his hello’s and bye’s. And finally I rest in peace…
Sunday: Auntie’s Place and some webdesign…
Around ten LS arrived, followed by LadyMex who gave me a gift and went away. Then Joe and LS went away. Then Groundel went away. Ok… WTF? LOL I kept sleeping for a while… During the afternoon went to my aunt’s house and had a hearty meal. Upon returning, called Trilogy to see if he was at home. Then I got a call from my father, and then Coriolis… When I finally got out of the house to meet Trilogy, his ride for work had arrived, so he could only say a few words and go… He gave me a card with a cd with some songs I used to sing when we met… fifteen years ago. That was really nice. It’s the second nice thing he do in a row, within one week. I think this should go to Guiness! :D
So, as I arrived home I did some revamping of the site I’m working on, and then watched Memento. Ok… Some of my readers already know my veredict… LOL The movie was… ok… I didn’t like the ending, I liked the idea of what they were trying to do… I liked that it is different… But I was left in the air in the end because after long minutes… the movie is friggin long, it just ends… Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr… Why, why why this police/detective/espionage/roadkill obsession?! So much horror! So little time! Damnit! :P And so, after preparing for sleep with that movie, I finally surrendered to Morpheus…
And here I am… At work… An am reunion because of the secretary’s week (next week), and then checking about the next expedition of Kymill’s Travels… Next Saturday April 16, Gilligan’s Island. 7:30am, we will meet at Guánica’s BK. Be there or burst!
I’m hungry… Gotta get a big sandwich… Yummy.

As I got in the car to work, I was pissed. Very pissed. I get annoyed when I get a blame for something I didn’t do… so what? Anyway, as I was on the crossroad near my apartment, something went on my car’s ceiling. The noise gave me the answer: A dove. And the stupid dove wouldn’t get off the car. So, I thought that when the light changes and the car move then it would go away. Nope. The noise again. And this time it was followed by the dove getting on the car’s spare tire. Ok… The dove started to annoy me… So as the car moved again, it tried to fly, but got stuck on the tire’s chain. The sound of the wings against the window was not amusing. Seems that the dove was trapped by a leg and couldn’t take off. On the next light seems it managed to set free, and again, she went to the car’s ceiling. No, this is not a crappy TV comedy show… As the car moved again, I saw a shadow dropping to a side, and looking through the mirror I saw that the dove fall on the other street way, looking around, and ready to choose its next target…
So, finally I had to laugh. As mad as I was, seems that God went through a small trouble to make me smile… And so, I arrived at work… Luckily, the dove didn’t print… :P
Ok, and now to the printing thingie, so you actually GET the joke…
Two days ago, it was 4:25 pm and I was ready to sign the human resource’s list when one of my colleagues comes to me and says very seriously: “Vivian, I have a problem. I cannot print”. I stared as her and the world stopped. I don’t know why but this strange thought came to my mind: “Why is she telling me this?”. Then I came back to reality and looked at her face, as she was wondering WHY I didn’t answer her. She repeated the question and I started laughing. I burst in laughter, and just couldn’t stop. I went away, took the elevator, got into my car, and I was still laughing. I couldn’t move the car for almost 10 minutes because I was laughing so hard I was crying. Groundel was at my side, in the car, staring with a scared look in his face. Since he didn’t understand why I was crying and laughing nonstop, he thought someone did something at work… I tried to calm down, started to explain and burst in hysterical laughter again. I gave up. Got home, and whenever I thought of the printing business I laughed. Yesterday, first thing in the morning, as I was signing my arrival, I saw the girl again. Bad thing, I burst in laughter again. She came to me, concerned. “But Viv, what is it? You get that request that often?” I answered: “Nope, but you should get some castor oil if you keep having THAT problem”.
Next! ( The sad thing, this is a true story… LOL)

Friday: Worked on the site for a 3rd day. Tired. Looking good.
Saturday: TRIP TO ARECIBO’s OBSERVATORY.
Ok, so the trip getting there had excitement on its own since it was a bit long and kinda going into the mountains making the crew believe that we were actually going where no one else had gone before… LS and Groundel and I, all of us, were in “jodeína mode”. We watched Meaíto trees, and Flamboyanes and Trinitarias and Big Houses and pesky birds and rocky roads, and it all was fun. When we got to the place, using my osmosis sense for getting to places and pleased at the miracle of not getting lost, we sighted in glee as the place was not closed and the sun was not too hot.
Stairs lead the way up, and some famous words were read “500 steps from here to the top”… and then the famous phrase followed “What is the big deal about 500 steps?” Oh, boy… LOL Had to stop to catch my breath several times… I guess THAT was the big deal about it… So, we all get to the top in one piece… Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! And we got the tickets… And as I though, they have ATM over there, I mean, such a techie place MUST offer that simple techie thing, no? Good rationalization. Einstein would be proud. Anyway, went in to see the interactive exhibitions… WAY COOL. Loved the fog thinguie, and the electricity demo and the informationals about galaxies and stars and asteroids and… gosh… THE movie! LOL
It was a hilarious 20 min informational-movie that depicted, literally, a DAY in LIFE at the Observatory. Man, the employees MUST be very happy, they eat like gods! The emphasis on the food was… strange… Perhaps it is the main thing ALIENS love about us… who knew? Anyway, it was as nice as the shots of people working OVER the radio-telescope… EWWWW… That’s friggin HIGH. After the movie, the doors open to show a lookout that is a balcony standing right next to the radio-telescope… AMAZING. No words can describe the beauty of the place, the poetic duality of raw nature versus iron and technology. And so, one of my life-goals came to an end. I have always wanted to go see the Observatory and today I did. A new milestone was reached. And I loved every minute of it. The place is very nice, very clean, so unlike places of value in this forsaken island. Took some pics, grabbed the moment, rain poured freely, and we all went back to the road. Our next target: FOOD.
Ok, so following my osmosis-sense I decided to follow the roads leading to Lares. Old habits die hard, and I knew the way from Lares to San Sebastian fairly well… I knew… Notice the past tense? LOL Ok, so it was a VERY good thing that I bought a map… but… There is always a big but. To reach our destiny, Aguadilla, we needed to take the 111 road and stick to it. Problem: the damn road is NOT completed, so there are diverse detours and dead ends… one dead end was the backyard of a house! The detours took us through curved narrow roads with bad, deep chasms on one or each sides… a small problem when you are driving and you are afraid of heights but nothing too serious… :P The 111 road has a new meaning for us, a phantom road that is wicked and enjoys being random and careless… Ironically it is the road that I have always travelled to get to Moca and San Sebastián… I didn’t knew that was the number… LOL After an hour and a half we arrived at Aguadilla Mall and attacked the food court. Mission accomplished.
From Aguadilla to Mayaguez the road was smooth and kind, the rain stopped, jokes flowed and the arrival at home was flawless. Nice day full of fun and adventure. I refreshed my memory of where the Camuy Caverns are, where the Moca’s Mundillo Museum is, Moca’s castle, and of course, the Guajataca forest… Mental notes to visit them soon. Taking pics to see if I can start my Western side “Porta del Sol” project… Me and my hobbies…
Anyway, enough about tourism… Back to the cave…

The detours took us through curved narrow roads with bad, deep chasms on one or each sides… a small problem when you are driving and you are afraid of heights but nothing too serious… :P The 111 road has a new meaning for us, a phantom road that is wicked and enjoys being random and careless… Ironically it is the road that I have always travelled to get to Moca and San Sebastián… I didn’t knew that was the number… LOL After an hour and a half we arrived at Aguadilla Mall and attacked the food court. Mission accomplished.
From Aguadilla to Mayaguez the road was smooth and kind, the rain stopped, jokes flowed and the arrival at home was flawless. Nice day full of fun and adventure. I refreshed my memory of where the Camuy Caverns are, where the Moca’s Mundillo Museum is, Moca’s castle, and of course, the Guajataca forest… Mental notes to visit them soon. Taking pics to see if I can start my Western side “Porta del Sol” project… Me and my hobbies…
Anyway, enough about tourism… Back to the cave…
