Here is some cool pictures taken a little while back of Ponce in the south side of the beautiful island of Puerto Rico, the view is from the Don Q (Puerto Rico's local and very tasty rum) castle owned by the Serrallés family, that is also the name of the castle itself. Ponce is also known for it's great musicians of salsa music.
here is the inside of the castle, where is prohibited to take pictures! so please keep it down :)
it's gardens
the place's mini structure
here is the view from the entrance
I actually went to San Juan and the Carolina area of PR before the Hurricane. Old San Juan is really old and feels very Colonial, like if you went back in time. Have you been to that side of the island??

Hey Marcel....so you live in Puerto Rico? I have never been to that part of the world but everything I had seen looks lovely. I am not much of a rum many myself (though I dare so I could be swayed) I am more a single malt scotch kind of guy. Some of the vegetation in the first couple of photos look very similar to some of the stuff that grows here in Tonga (I could not begin to tell you what they are as I am completely illiterate when it comes to plants). By the look at the depth of the colour green you too have plenty of rain (the likes of which I spoke of in my previous reply to you. I can't help but notice another similarity with outer places of the world.......The people who make various types of alcohol end up living big impressive buildings :) anyway take care matey and cheers for now J

Good to hear that you are a single malt man, I think that means that you are a man of honour and integrity (Have you ever had the chance to go to Scotland?). Rugby is a religion here! Being here through the world cup over the past few months was one of the most amazing experiences I have ever had. The people here are gorgeous, the were celebrating the shear joy of the competition even when they were robbed and knocked out in the semi final by a disallowed (strip tackle) try within the last min of the game. I am sure, now that I know that you are Brazilian, you can understand the concept of a sport being a religion. I am not religious in any aspect of the word (except for the fact that I worship my wife and family and friends). I played a bit of rugby also when growing up but where I originally come from football was the closest thing to a religion when it comes to a sport, you either went to church at Anfield (Liverpool) or Goodison Park (Everton) every Saturday. Ironically I now find myself living in an incredibly religious (as in God and Rugby) country but on the street (if you can call it a street) with the only football pitches on the island, and although the streets have no names here (no really, its not just an opportunity for a random U2 reference, the streets really have no names) I find myself living on what the locals refer to as FIFA Street as thats who donated the money for the pitch. I will keep in touch & like wise you do the same. You take care cheers for now J.

I cheer for a small Brazilian team that you probably have never even heard of in your life, hahaha Avai F.C. has been mainly in the Brazilian 2nd division of soccer(football) Everton is just a reminder of how upsetting the game can be by having the team that you follow loosing ALL THE TIME! hahahahaha

I can completely relate. I lived in Australia for a long time (and will be going back there at the end of the year). In Australia they play a game that you may not be familiar with called Australian Rules Football (Aussie Rules) It is like a mix between, Rugby, Football and full contact martial arts!! it is awesome. I follow a team called Carlton and .....yep I know what it is like to follow a team that always looses.....but they do so with such heart. If you have never seen any Aussie Rules then I suggest that you have a look. The rules are very confusing but, once you get your head around it, it is a great game. The atmosphere at the games is fantastic.....and family friendly. BUT IT IS NOTHING LIKE BEING IN THE COP AT ANFIELD!!!! Cheers J
