PICTURES FROM PUERTO RICO





Picture: our daughter Jennifer holding a Puerto Rican fruit, with little Claudia (pronounced in Spanish "CLOUD EE UH) looking on. In your mouth, it "acts" like our scuppernong grapes—pleasant going down but a chalky aftertaste.

Picture: the plate the waitress delivered at Rosa de Triana, which has flamenco dancers on Friday and Saturday nights. The food I ordered is arroz y broccoli y Amarillo habichuelas negras—rice, broccoli, black beans, and sauteed sweet plantains. Now that's some good eating.

Picture: on the streets of old San Juan. Note the narrow streets and profusion of cars. You get real close to Jesus driving in San Juan (you're drawing near to Him with your fervent praying!). Thankfully, Jennifer's a pro.

Pictures: looking out her kitchen window at dusk and at night. She's 22 stories up, in a tall condominium. At night, it's a jewel box. From some of her windows, you can see the sparkling turquoise Caribbean Ocean.
