Isla del Encanta

This is the name on license plates in Puerto Rico. The island is a little confusing to me, the distances are in km and the speed is in miles, gasoline in liters, water in gallons. The cars must be made different here, they don't have handles to show a change of direction, but the horn is very centrally located, you use it to show when you are unhappy with the other drivers and to thank another one, because you give him right of way, when you are too slow, too fast, the wrong direction etc.

The music is loud and sounds happy, but the people do not make the most happy impression. It must have something to do with the intertwinement with America. Nobody can clearly explain to me the exact connection, I have tried to ask so many people, but it is still unclear to me.

The boating scene is something else, there must be an official rule: the smaller the boat, the bigger the motors and even bigger the sound installation, you hear the things before you can even see them !!!!!!!!! Especially Saturday nights are horrible, they think they have the god sent duty to entertain the whole world with their music.

But we are still very happy to share their beautiful country.
