Come back to The Scurvy Dog's Puerto Rican Blog again and see what's new since The Ruins of Hacienda La Esperanza !

A year ago, I stumbled onto info about Hacienda La Esperanza. Part of a large archive over on a US Department of Interior FTP server.  The info is open to the public and it is vast.  The old drawings, maps and B&W photos were from their original studies done in the 1970′s and ’80′s of [...]

“They were as Gods… Men would tremble and bow as they marched by, never to dare and stare them in the eye” Yeah, I said that. I’ve talked about some of my great days in Puerto Rico, but this one stands out as a crown jewel.  It was a genuine privilege to tag along and [...]

Come back to The Scurvy Dog's Puerto Rican Blog again and see what's new since Gardening as Intervention, a Mega Update !

Confessions of an exotic fruit seed junkie I thought 3 years in, I would be done with planting seeds and moving on to keeping them watered and watching them grow.  Not so. My obsession has turned acute. To accommodate these additions, I’ve had to clear off more undergrowth. That’s not easy for a guy who [...]

This is a local story. One I have covered 3 times in the past. Yes, I’ve reported on this event with great detail so I’ll only be talking about the highlights. There are videos of the past Marathons including one that runs the entire route, the morning before the big event, shot from the roof of [...]

Come back to The Scurvy Dog's Puerto Rican Blog again and see what's new since Zipping Through the Jungle of Guaynabo, PR !

As mentioned in me previous post, we had family visiting from the mainland and took in Canopy Tour’s  Zip-line traverse on the grounds of the ‘Parque Forestal La Marquesa’.  This is a very nice park and worth a visit even if you don’t do the Zip-line thing. Note that this is a very funky 11 [...]

Come back to The Scurvy Dog's Puerto Rican Blog again and see what's new since Forest Park, Birds and Butterflies of Guaynabo !

Formally known as ‘Parque Forestal La Marquesa’, we were recently there, twice in the last 2 weeks.  The first pass was with our Photo MeetUp Group to tour the grounds and then the second time was with family visiting from the mainland to do the Zip-line thing. That’s right. I finally got to do a [...]

We were visiting friends a couple weeks back, in an area we had been to before so I wanted to check out the local beach. OK, the south side of the island is not known for it’s surfing, but it does happen.  This particular beach is shaped like a bowl facing the Caribbean Sea.  This [...]

Come back to The Scurvy Dog's Puerto Rican Blog again and see what's new since Figuras Point Lighthouse of Arroyo, PR !

On my first pass of Arroyo, I did not make it out to the lighthouse. Our Photo MeetUp group wanted to check out the Tren Del Sur ‘Train of the South’ so this was a good opportunity to try a few new photo ideas. I have covered both the town of Arroyo and the ‘defunct’ [...]
