Come back to The Scurvy Dog's Puerto Rican Blog again and see what's new since Christmas in Puerto Rico and Fireworks too !

I’m not exaggerating when I say the Season starts the day after Thanksgiving (Black Friday) and does not end until the day after Three Kings Day on January 6th.  I have a small post I did about Black Friday too.. it’s as crazy here as it is on the mainland.  Here’s a link to it. [...]

Come back to The Scurvy Dog's Puerto Rican Blog again and see what's new since El Yunque Forest.. A Northwest Approach !

Most folks visit the El Yunque US National Forest via a formal tour and I highly recommend that. I took the half-day tour from San Juan on my first visit. There are links to half day and day trips in the Sidebar. That was great, but now I had an opportunity to see it from [...]

Come back to The Scurvy Dog's Puerto Rican Blog again and see what's new since Arroyo’s Tren del Sur– Train of the South !

A Puerto Rican attraction in need of resurrection.. Most printed travel guides speak of the ‘Tren del Sur’ in Arroyo as if it were only temporarily closed. It operated 4 miles of track from 1984 to 2005 when it was shut down for ‘maintenance’ and never reopened. Today, it appears to be all but abandoned… weeds [...]

Another ‘Top 10″ attraction of PR and San Juan in particular. Yes, the gardens on the grounds of the University of Puerto Rico (UPR) had been on my original ‘hit-list’ of places to see.  I’m a little ashamed I had not come to visit before now.  The SJ Photo MeetUp Group decided to come back [...]
