16 Things We Love About Puerto Rico | Vlogmas 18

[@richie2910]

I was born in Puerto Rico and raised in New york I go to P.R. twice a year I'm 55yrs old and I'm in love with P.R. definitely retiring there. One of my favorite places is Caja de Muerto Island in Ponce.

[@beckydevine5816]

I am IN LOVE with Puerto Rico! It's definitely my #1 dream destination. Would really enjoy more content about Puerto Rico :) Great video!!

[@niilochonwu545]

Yes! The friends & family thing! We stayed in an Airbnb in Aguada & our host family made us a part of their family since we were there so long! They have been instrumental in our love for PR & where we plan to settle when we move there in May! I seriously moved there in my heart & spirit when we first visited in Aug but my body is unfortunately still living in the Midwest until we can tie up loose ends & our family officially moves there in May! We love PR too!!

Come to my Airbnb in Guayama Puerto Rico.

We have the longest Christmas ever! haha. Starts in december and ends late January.

[@carmeloruiz6021]

Thank you for made this video. I enjoy everyone of them. Soy artesano, i hope i can meet you at a festival somewhere in the island. I use to work in almost everyone of them. I'm eager to meet you cause you are very special couple and we really feel you part of us. God bless this channel and keep doing this!

[@celiari9702]

I couldn’t agree more! That’s why I visit every year and also plan to retire there. ❤️🇵🇷 Just to add... I also love the food! 😋

[@johannamoronta3630]

The panaderias are te best!

[@nancyh5427]

Panaderia? Now that's the draw for me!

[@ivanss_teacher]

Cool video. I feel like #13 is true if you live anywhere but the San Juan area where I come from. Still I love the vibe of the city too. Happy to be back in the Island for the holidays!

[@scottallancole3635]

So many things to love about Puerto Rico... first and foremost are the people...very friendly. Definitely love the beaches...you can find a beach for anything...surfing, snorkeling, relaxing. Old San Juan is amazing. Spent more time there on my last trip, and so glad I did. Can't wait to get back down there!

[@carnel73]

We're very welcoming, specially with people like yourselves that moved to the island, thanks for learning to love my island as much as I do!! And thanks for showing it to me through your videos, I wish you make a video about Christmas in Puerto Rico!! Thanks Jim and May!!!

So happy for you to enjoy my beloved PR, hope to see you in July

[@marktirado4527]

Thanks for sharing your experience here in the island, you are part of the family of PR!

[@sarasantiago6607]

I live near San Juan. It is so and so good to hear good things about the island. Gracias, gracias, gracias. I would love to visit Mexico...it is also: beautiful...

[@IamMaria_O]

❤️🙏🏽Thank you for sharing such wonderful words about our island. Great hearing the beautiful truth, the great that Puerto Rico has to offer.🙏🏽

[@jsanz787]

Thank you for the kind words. There are some here in the states that think we're are bad to put it mildly.

[@Dangic23]

Wonderful video. Love the sound of the waves during the video. Very uplifting.

[@SpanishandGo]

¡Gracias! Thanks for watching! -Jim

[@JuanOLopezGerena]

Excelente video. Estoy de acuerdo con todo lo que señalaron y tal vez le añadiría la comida y el café. Aunque ningún lugar es perfecto, verdaderamente vivimos en un paraíso tropical. En otro video mencioné que debían hacer un video sobre las Fiestas de la Calle San Sebastián, pero olvidé que antes de eso es el Festival de las Máscaras en Hatillo (28 de diciembre). Definitivamente sería una nueva experiencia para ustedes, aunque para algunos es demasiado caótico.

[@blpalv15]

My husband is from Puerto Rico, and we are planning a trip there within the next year. Cannot wait to try the panaderias there. Maybe we will see you on our travels and say hello!

[@whiteroses91]

We love the feeling! The feeling of complete peace. We visited San Juan in September and fell in love with the island. So much, that for Christmas we bought tickets for February! Bring on the Aguadilla incon area! (Also all the sea water really helped our pseriosis!)

[@jkadmin9460]

You make it sound so great! Can't wait to get there!

[@Wattawa88]

Try to go to El Bosque seco de Guanica. Once in Guanica try aslo to go to el Fuerte Capron, el Faro and Gulligans Island...

[@gaildemski4632]

Gilligan's Island has been closed for the last year. Goverment shut it down dont know if it will ever reopen Feb 2021. sad

[@serral1]

I am so happy to see Your videos and how my little island has become a temporary home for You. Un abrazo bien grande y mucha salud, suerte y felicidad para este próximo nuevo año!

[@SpanishandGo]

Thanks for watching! Aquí vivimos and no tenemos planes para mudarnos por ahora. Nos encanta estar aquí. Un saludo. 🇵🇷❤️-Jim

[@serral1]

@@SpanishandGo ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Good!

[@felixolmo8179]

Love everything you said in the video but you didn't mention food but it was a great video love seeing you two all the best

[@r.c.7711]

Hey guys!! Hope to see you around PR next week. Can’t wait. 😊 Thank you for your awesome videos.

[@SpanishandGo]

Awesome! Thank you. Enjoy your time on the island. Where will you be visiting? -Jim

[@r.c.7711]

Spanish and Go Ponce, Viejo San Juan, Isla De Muertos, Santurce, Dan Juan.

[@r.c.7711]

San* that is.

[@Boatsidebbq]

I know this is going to sound crazy, but 1 thing i love the most is driving here on the island. It feels like freedom. I do not worry about getting pulled over every 30 seconds. I know that is because the cop would get cut off ten times on his way to pull you over by some other driver, but comming from seattle where the tickets flow like rain, i like it here.

[@MrFlowBoricua]

Started following you guys very recently and I love your videos specially those about Puerto Rico. I'm glad you love the island. I live in the Quebradillas/Isabela area, así que si se dan la vuelta por el área, sería genial conocerles y mostrarles un poco de este área (o tal vez conozcan más que yo por lo mucho que han descubierto, jaja). Qué disfruten y suerte. - Jorge

[@soniarivera2383]

Love everything you’ve mentioned. I visited my family recently and there are very good vegan restaurants popping up. The fruits are amazing on the island. My favorite place is Rincón, very vegan friendly 💚🌱 Maybe you already know this but, when getting bread from panaderías get pan de agua. El pan sobao esta hecho con manteca de cerdo.

[@sarairivera4006]

Gracias por amar nuestra isla , I dont know about the relaxing or island vibe lol I move to us no work there and they paid so low but nothing is like PR

[@toddfrantz6550]

I started watching you guys about 2 weeks ago. I only had stuff from about 2years until 6 months ago. At first you seemed so much like tourists. I remember when I saw that you found two dogs and tried to find an their owners And you guys walking all over like "frogger" I didn't think you would still be here. I'm from Iowa my name is Todd I've lived in naguabo PR for more than 20 years a small urb on highway 3 km 69.9 called tropical beach. I was vegan for over 15 years. I love the panadarias and all of the other things you mentioned. Its nice to see that you have transitioned from being so touristy to having friends and really living in pr like its you home. I would like to invite you to naguabo so I can share what I know about the east side #10 tropical beach Todd. Good luck with your adventure

[@White_Tiger2169]

As a kid I loved Christmas. It lasted until January 6. Here in the USA it just last one day

[@LifeTransPlanet]

Aww I love this list! It makes me want to make my own video and add a few! One note on this list, I would say that Family comes first for sure. But for friends it takes a long time to make those "family-like" connections and get truly into the fold like family. You didn't comment much on the food, how do you like it overall?

[@glorisol26]

I didn't hear you guys mentioning any type of puertorican food...ha, ha, ha...I guess food is out! I love the arroz con gandules, pasteles, guineítos en escabeche, el mofongo (relleno de pescado). I also love fried stuff like tostones, alcapurrías, bacalaítos. Have you guys tried the Piña Colada at the place where it was created, Barra China in Old San Juan?

[@ZimVader-0017]

I would like to see their reaction to the pasteles since they're so similar to tamales. I have a very funny anecdote with the gandules. One of my university professors is Peruvian and apparently gandules are considered animal feed in Latin America. He said that when he learned about arroz con gandules he was confused and a bit weary, but he tried it anyway and said that he was surprised with how delicious it was.

[@PeculiarJake]

Take that Mexico 😅

[@Bear-wo3hs]

Latin America countries are so underrated!!!

[@kramosthekid476]

You guys should go to Aguadilla and get some El meson

[@henrycruz45cal]

Good shave, much better!

[@boringopr4369]

Go to Boca de cangrejo and check out the various kiosk eateries you gonna love it Now just in case you find that it sucks (Boca de cangrejos)then I'm sorry because back in the 70s it was a very nice place to be If you go there let us know what's it like today thanks 🌺✌peace✌🌺

[@tarenricks5862]

Coming in two months! I’m devouring your videos! You mention you need to know a local to find the small unknown spots...... wanna help a brother out? Lol

[@07bently]

Here are a few things to look up on youtube to see if they are of your liking.. Castle El Morro (San Felipe del Morro) take the tour and wander around on your own its very big so dress comfortably. The Bacardi factory tour. The rain forrest (El Yunque). Great beaches everywhere one unusual one is Mar Chiquita beach in Manati, The Arecibo radio antenna dish as seen in many movies, The Camuy caves has a cave tour. The Ponce museum of art is awesome. If you see casual mom and pop restaurants with food under a heat lamp, its really good. These are just my opinion but those who have seen these would surely agree. Traffic may be heavy just go with the flow ..

[@diode_wow]

All I can say is; venture out!

[@maryjoan4128]

You two are amazing, you work soooooooo.hard. Thanks so much for highlighting PR. ..very few do...p.s. still hoping PV could join Canada. Just sayin😊

[@rsu2b1]

Wow - it sounds perfect! I don't suppose you know what it's like for gluten free food? I'm Coeliac so it's always tricky thinking about travel, as it's hard enough finding places to eat in the UK, let alone abroad. I imagine if it's not something you have to worry about yourselves then you probably haven't noticed one way or the other, but it would be great to find out from 'locals' if you do know! Thanks so much.

[@dracothelord6734]

I live in a mountain over there

[@Countryboy78]

Do they use the metric system or the u.s. standard for weights and measurements in Puerto Rico

[@QMiguel]

Mr Duckweed , it’s a US territory... USA federal laws override anything as in the States... but it’s not a State... which means they can’t complain neither suggest... anything in Congress... neither vote for President...

[@fidelsoto92]

The U.S.

[@Countryboy78]

If federal law overrides everything in Puerto Rico why is the drinking age 18

[@kessler003]

We use pounds and inches 99.99999% of the time. For some reason, some roads stuff is in km, dont know why.

[@ismaele.carreras4388]

It's a mix of imperial and metric. Distances are in kilometers but heights are in feet and inches. You buy gas in liters but the speed limits are shown in miles per hour. Air temperature in a weather forecast is in Fahrenheit but your air conditioning units might set the temperature in Celsius.

[@AerialVideosPhotos]

I’m surprise you didn’t mentioned the food.

[@marineslozada3551]

Because I think they are vegan.🤔

[@misterfignewton4395]

That beach you filmed on was all yours! How about a video on the food?

[@SpanishandGo]

Soon! Stay tuned. Thanks for watching! -Jim

How are you handling the recent earthquakes?

[@msrjorge1805]

How do you can contact a private hiking group? That’s sounds so cool!

Tap water is all right, sometimes to much chlorine IMO. I have a Britta, tastes better.
