Tour Guide

-

Decided to take a little tour of Military Fort No.7................
Despite a rough couple days we have been treated extremely well by our friends Victor, Sergai and his wife Tanya, their two children Anastasia and Daniel, and their church. On Monday, our One Year Anniversary Tanya invited us over for lunch at their place where she and Anastasia had decorated the house with balloons, flowers, a picture of us, and signs celebrating our first year. After the great meal they drove us to the beach where we enjoyed some sun and surf, the water was refreshing and my surprise One Year Anniversary party for Christina was a success....it actually was all Tanya, Sergai and her daughter....we also had a chance to help teach an English class at the University here........anyways hope all is well.......

Jon and Christina,

Hello dear friends. It is so great to see you guys having a fabulous time. You are missed tremendously! Email when you can we are in need of prayer from our dear christian friends (rhall@bendbroadband.com).

Christina, no more visits to the hospital. You will worry all of us. So no more of that stuff!

Jon, Ryan wants to know where the gold is over in those parts?

We love you both. Travel safely!

hi jon and christina
Where are you now? I worked hard for your unfinished blog, then I came to do the 2008 part in 2016 and I found it. 13 years ago you were very good and beautiful to me. I will make your dream come true.
My dream was also my goal, but in Turkey it is so desperate that living this life is a luxury and I cannot fulfill our dream. After seeing your new blog, I saw that you can go on a world tour with children, I have a child and my next dream is to go on tour with my child like you (it will be difficult, but I will try). .I came to the olive garden in Antakya, Turkey, and you stayed with us, my father, Robbi, my sister, Minne and Ahmet.

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.

Pequena Liga en Loiza: Los Cocoteritos

  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...
