Right in the center of town in Loiza, during the last week of July, the locals celebrate the St. Jaime's Carnival, wearing colorful masks and costumes,while singing and dancing their traditional and contagious music. These Afro-Caribbean cultural trends have been beautifully and tastefully captured by the local artists, Samuel Lind and the Ayala family. Their respective homes and 'taller' workshops are only steps from the Malibu gate. Loiza is also home to Iglesia San Patricio, which dates to 1670 and is the oldest church in continuous use in Puerto Rico. Tasty fresh crab (JUEYES) dishes can also be found through out the town of Loiza, the family owned/operated 'El Parrilla' restaurant is among the best in the island.

We had a wonderful time in Puerto Rico. We did a lot of traveling: we went south to Ponce and visited the Museo Castillo Serralles. We saw the radio telescope in the west. We visited the rain forest and saw the great exhibits there. We visited the Bacardi factory (to my 18-year daughter's delight). We spent lots of time in San Juan visiting different restaurants. We went to different beaches and saw the huge waves. Thanks for your warning. A number of the beaches were actually closed but we always found some that were open. We enjoyed the iguanas greeting us every day: they were sun-bathing on the wall outside the compound and were quite happy to pose for pictures. Thanks again, Ania, George and Sophie
