It was very interesting to hear the teacher talk about life in Puerto Rico compared to life here in the United States. Alot of the things she did seemed very similiar to the activities we do. She talked about her favorite celebration which was "las fiestas de La Calle San Sebastion". It took place in January and there is tons of music, food, and arts and crafts from all over Latin America. She also talked about how she loved going to the beach and to old San Juan, which reminded me somewhat of Austin's 6th Street. I thought it was very interesting how her least favorite thing about Puerto Rico was the politics. It seems as if everything there was based of politics and how complicated they could be. It seems to affect each and ever person living there or from there, no matter how involved you were or not. I also thought it was interesting that she said that most people from there are very nice to tourists because they want to practice their spanish, and vice versa.
