A little journey to Puerto Rico

May 5*, 1900

by Marian M. George

My family and I are really excited about our trip to Puerto Rico.Everyone is anxious 'to léarn more about this country, which is part of the United States.

Puerto Rico is a very·beautiful island. Its climate and scenery attract many visitors.

Flowers bloom, and plants and trees grow fruit all year round.There is no typical winter, but during the winter season, the skies are clear and blue.

Our first view of San Juan fills us with pleasure. There are tall palmtrees everywhere: at the beach, in the city, around the colorful buildings. Our tourist guide tells us that San Juan is one of the most perféctly fortified cities in the world.

The most famous buildings are the governor's palace, the cathedral, the city hall, and the castles of Morro and San Cristobal.

In the heart of the town, opposite the City Hall, the guide shows us a public plaza. These plazas are flat, open spaces surrounded by shade trees. In the cool of the evening, people meet in these plazas and listen to the music of the band.

The people of Puerto Rico speak Spanish and have the Spanish customs, manners, and religion. They are happy, good-looking,hospitable, and polite people. They don't wear heavy clothes: men dress in white light linen or cotton, and women in cotton or other thin material.
