I remember tropical rains from a summer in Jamaica when I was 18. You could see the cloud front coming across the mountain and watch the colors change as everything got wet, until it reached our abode. Then we had to hide from the downpour!! Umbrellas would have been useless as the wind whipped the rain in all directions. Glad your Dad got proper med attention on the ship, but buy him some slip-on Sketchers for next time; better to 'slip on' them than the pavement! And with Sketchers the bad guys running away wouldn't have stood a chance. & for continued safe travels for all of you. c.a.

Ariel, your beautiful post brought back very fond memories of a week in Puerto Rico during the eighties. My late husband, a quadriplegic, was a speaker at a conference and also an exhibitor. His product was velcro blow darts with a velcro target as recreation for quadriplegics.

The Puerto Rican people were so helpful and kind. We hired a driver to tour the island for a day, including a ride on a ferry. He lifted my husband in and out of his taxi several times and refused to accept any tip. I feel bad for the destruction Puerto Ricans suffered in 2017 and are still recovering from today.

We walked around El Moro. I pushed a wheelchair up and down those very steep cobblestone streets of San Juan. We also took a drive to the rain forest. At the hotel, we enjoyed a steel band as we sat looking over the water and eating the best pineapple I have ever tasted, and I swam in a beautiful circular pool. Thank you, Ariel, for bringing back those memories! <3 Have a great day!
