There was some craziness with registration last weekend, but everyone has finally and officially signed up for their respective Alternative Spring Breaks!!!!!! YAYYYYY!!!

We are BEYOND excited to meet our volunteers and tell them about all the amazing service and Puerto Rican things we will be doing (eating, dancing, beaching, etc.)

We hope you (our volunteers, who should be studying this blog on the daily) can all come to the Pre-Break extravaganza on March 1, where there will be some muy buenas exhibits about our issue area and we will have the opportunity to form inside jokes that we will repeatedly mention during our flight to San Juan. AYYAYYY!!!!

aaaand we’re back :D

Welcome to our holiday post!

Since .01% of people in Puerto Rico are Jewish, Christmas basically runs the (Holiday) show. So…

Welcome to our Christmas post!

Christmas in Puerto Rico, while heavily influenced by typical American traditions (yes, they have Christmas trees and santa), has some awesome traditions of it’s own.

On Christmas Eve, boricuas go from house to house singing carols, stop at each house to nom on ‘pasteles’ (cakes), Rice and peas, roasted pig, and drink ‘coquito’ (their version of egg-nog), then continue on singing until the BREAK. OF. DAWN. Awesome.

And now we leave you with this (obviously):

Stay tuned to find out what these awesome people do for New Years and Three Kings Day on January 6th!

¡BUENOS DIAS DICIEMBRE!
