Communication Issues and Self Portraits

-
Look carefully at the picture below.....especially at the communication breakdown between the boy on the left and Christina. Now, while the rest of us were just trying to get a nice little picture taken, Christina is telling the Chinese kid something on the left. Whatever she is communicating is frightening the kid........
Found this place north of Beijing. It's called Summer's Palace, kind of nice....
After much time and anticipation from a lot of people our self-portraits are finally complete. Right now we only have one copy of each so their not for sale. If you would like to request one let us know, it will be extra for a signed copy.

Hi, Jon! Hi, Christina!

Did you took your journey throu China on your car? If you did, what is need to drive a foreign car by foreigner in China? I knew that China had some restrictions, but may be it obsolete.

Good look!

Ultimos Dias y una Fiesta en Loiza

The universal emotions of winning and losing, success and failure.  Navarro connects for a home run in the first game, pure joy.  After dropping two straight and getting bounced from the tournament el Cocoteritos season comes to an end, players were truly sad.  Over the past couple years I've began to look over at the losers side, the losers dugout.  Its a little difficult to do because our attention is naturally drawn to the winning side and the celebration.  But if you remember, take a glance over at the losers dugout, you can really learn a lot about a team. Final field prep, final stretch and a horse training session in the North Atlantic near Loiza. Coaches: Wilfredo, Francisco, Candela y el Cocoteritos ultima fiesta en la communidad de Loiza. Back in the beautiful, beautiful United States of America.  York River in Virginia. Y la paz de Dios gobierne en vuestros corazones.

  Everybody's happy when you get new jerseys and are winning.  Little League for 9/10 year olds in Loiza, Puerto Rico.  After a rough start to the season, Los Cocoteritos won 6 straight and advance to the semi-finals. Coaches de Los Cocoteritos: Wilfredo, Candela and Francisco. Practices and games start with prayer en la Republica Dominicana y Puerto Rico.   A dog and his iguana.  Getting out of del sol caribeno and cooling down en El Yunque Rainforest. Always windy, the north atlantic went still one day during the eclipse and looked like el caribeno.  The problem with no wind is that you get killed by mosquitos in the evening.   Rio Espiritu Santo flowing into the North Atlantic.  Still thinking about leaving Dean at one of these islands.  It's his home.

La Isla de Puerto Rico y Boricuas

Saludo de Puerto Rico.  A commonwealth and unincorporated territory of the United States.  Not sure what that really means.  It's a little confusing.  Distances between pueblos are marked in kilometers, but the speed limit is posted in MPH.  Someone born in Puerto Rico could in fact become President of the United States, but the people of Puerto Rico have no vote in the U.S. Presidential election.  Puerto Rico has a steadily declining population of 3.25 million, but there are around 9 million Puerto Ricans in the world.  It's referred to as the Puerto Rican diaspora.  It's been happening for some time, but accelerated after the two devastating hurricanes of Irma and Maria in 2017.  Irma was a category 5 hurricane that came close to the island, 10 days later Maria, a category 4 went straight through the country.  I heard someone talking that in the "eye" of a hurricane everything goes calm for a period but then the ferocity starts again a...
