Last Pictures In Puerto Rico

These random pictures are important for one simple reason: They reflect the last days of living on the place I was born and raised for 27 years. Yes, one can visit every once in a while, but you know that some part of you stayed there, and it will never come back. The feeling towards the countdown to the final day was a mixed bag. The ongoing battle that violently rages inside drains you enough to tell yourself "I'm I doing the right thing? Is it worth all the pain?". The constant feeling of excitement of what the new journey is going to bring you is countered by a betraying sadness that tries to chip away on your courage to make the leap into the unknown. Luckily, those days have passed, and to bring closure to that moment I'm posting these pics. Not long ago, Time was my enemy, but now, Time is the best friend I can depend on, helping me adjust to this new world that surrounds me.

Enjoy Opponauts.

If I was a Brit I would say you are keeping a stiff upper lip. Where did you say you were moving to?

Godspeed, bro. The island will be a lesser place without you.

Gracias. I still see a glimpse of the island in El Nuevo Día. It encourages me a little bit.

I'm in San Antonio at the moment. When I finish my studies I think I'll be moving to Austin or Houston but nothing is written on stone.

There's always hope. People seem to forget that here.

I actually left in 2011 but came back a year later to continue studying in the UPR. I'm not going anywhere until my bachelor' sis done.

If you ever come to Albuquerque or Santa Fe let me know. That's me in the state NW of you.

not hola? :p

Also, I don't think there are any Total stations in the 50 states; they basically have no presence here.

Haha, don't know why they did that... Probably to give the gas station more "ooh la la" glamor when you see it. I think it works... you end up buying some Cheetos and a Snickers.

Now that I searched for it, it's a French company. Bonjour, European businesses.

Do you have Puma gas stations in the States? Because in the island they're everywhere.

No, I don't think we have Puma.
