A few months back Robin and I flew to Puerto Rico for a family trip. Mom and Dad came out from California and Jodi & Jon flew out from the Bronx. We rented a condo in Humacao and took our usual day trips to Luquillo, El Yunque, Caguas (where the Jimenez family is from) and Old San Juan.

Luquillo is known for it’s many kioskos (kiosks) that line the road. You can take respite from the sun while having a cold drink or some fried food.

La Bombonera in Old San Juan. The arroz con pollo here is incredible. Be sure to get it with platanos maduros (sweet plantains).
