Did you know that many of the battles that helped shape the New World took place right here in Puerto Rico? Did you know that many of history’s most famous captains were defeated right here in San Juan by Puerto Rican soldiers?

Learn more about these and many other interesting facts at the Maritime Museum in Old San Juan, better known among the locals as “Museo del Mar”. Oh, and did I mention that it also holds a Guinness World Record?

This week my wife and I visited the museum and we had a ball.

Ceiba A Town In Limbo

In Puerto Rico there are towns that stand out for their history. Others because of their exuberant nature. Others are just magnificent cities. And still others are best to visit on your way to somewhere else. Then there are towns like Ceiba, that bake in the Caribbean sun in a sort of lethargy… a “limbo” state, if you will. It’s a town that once wasn’t, then it was, and now it isn’t. No, this isn’t a play of words. Nor am I trying to be facetious. It’s simply the sad reality of an entire region.

Did you know that La Garita Del Diablo (The Devil's Sentry Box is one of the oldest parts of Fort San Cristóbal? It was built in 1634.

Spanish soldiers thought that it was haunted, because of the howling sounds produced by the wind and surf. This led to various llegends about soldiers disappearing.

This beautiful t-shirt (available in a variety of colors) captures the Devil's Sentry Box in all of its glory with the crashing waves of the Atlantic Ocean hitting its base. You can also use the same image to order phone cases, mugs, cushions and many other items.

“Todo Bien” T-Shirt

Puerto Ricans have a phrase that simply spurts out of their mouths whenever they run into anyone. It’s the two-word phrase “todo bien”. They utter it every time they're asked “how are you doing?” or “how’s life?” or any other other enquiry about their general wellbeing. Sometimes they even utter it without being asked. Basically it means: “all is well”.

But, of course, all is not well in the “island of enchantment”. It’s just the Puerto Rican way of projecting a general sense of happiness and fulfilment that’s neither real nor attainable in many cases. To put it bluntly, it’s more of a collective pipe dream.

This third edition of our “Todo Bien” t-shirts projects a cynical view of “happiness” and general wellbeing in Puerto Rico. It combines the “concerned” or “incredulous” attitude of most everyday Puerto Ricans juxtaposed to the words “todo bien”. Well, of course it is!

Then there’s the Puerto Rican flag, inserted into the image in its original sky blue color, instead of the navy blue taken from the U.S. flag.

This is a t-shirt that says a lot with very few words, if you just know where to look. Order yours today (also avalable in light colors).

GREAT EGRET: This was shot at the University of Puerto Rico’s San Juan Botanical Garden back in 2014. It was a great place to relax, see the birds and the flowers. Last Wednesday I was there with my wife to shoot a video for my YouTube ckannel http://www.puertoricobygps.tv and the situation is totally different. The Monet Garden area is a mess and the heliconia garden is no more. I don’t know if you can make them out, but there were three turtles in the background.
