Carol's Daughter Mimosa Hair Honey

reminds me of...

Puerto Rico

will always remind me of...

Puerto Rico

Picking starfruit in Utuado after hours of driving

Hiking to the waterfall of the rainforest El Yunque

Horseback riding with my sister in the foothills

The hotel with it's outdoor space instead of indoor hallways

Sitting outside working on my novel and listening to the coquis chirp

Reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows for the first and second

time

The streets of Old San Juan: cobblestone, tiny museums, and beautiful

crafts in shops

Tan skin and hot sun

Driving with people who have no sense of direction

The wonderful sandwiches you can get two miles away that can feed

four people for under twenty dollars.

Salsa Congress

Meeting family for the first time

3 generations of women returning to the homeland.
