October 2022 -Halloween, Fiestas Patronales, Parties and More

October 2022 was a memorable month! We celebrated the life of a good friend gone too soon (we miss you Jeff), went to the Fiestas Patronales of Aguada, and had a fun Halloween. We even adopted a cat (or did he adopt us) straight from the forest. We named him Pumpkin because of his timing along with our pumpkins.

The Holiday Season in Puerto Rico 2019

The holidays are in full swing here in Puerto Rico this year. The festivities are on fire and it seems that every other day we have one party or another to attend. It has been so much fun! Thanksgiving with our neighbors, birthday parties, cookie exchanges, encendidos, parrandas, school parties and more. It has been non-stop. It is so true that Puerto Rico knows how to party and the winter Christmas season is the best for that!

   

When we haven’t been out having fun, we’ve been trying to take advantage of the extra time we have with Aeden in daycare and the fact that it has been so much cooler in order to expand the gardens. We recently planted over 35 new cultivars of heliconias and are so excited to see them grow! The cabana has been steadily booked with guests and so that keeps us busy with maintenance, tours and turnover. It’s been a very fufiling time in our lives. I’ve been trying to make more videos in order to capture the essence of life these days, sort of “vlog” style if you’d like to watch some other things that we’ve been up to. Here’s our channel: LIFETRANSPLANET YOUTUBE

It’s been an active period of growth, literally, while we enjoy the holidays as well. We hope yours are going well also! Felicidades.
