Puerta Rico and Lorna

It was so interesting to hear Lorna talk about Puerta Rico. She gave a ton of cool information. She is 28 years old and came to the United States when she was 24. First she went to Philly to study. Her favorite food from Puerta Rico is called monfongo. She said it is a delicious dish made with plantanes. She loves to go to the beach and to go to Old San Juan which is a fun downtown area where a lot of young people go to party. She loves las fiestas de la Calle San Sebastian which is a celebration in San Juan every year. One of her least favorite things about Puerta Rico is politics. Everyone has strong opinions on the politics especially regarding the United States. Some people hate the United States and some love the United States and want Puerta Rico to become a state. Lorna's father si part of a political party that wants Puerta Rico to be a state. One of her favorite things is the people. She describes them as friendly, warm, and welcoming. Overall I learned a lot about the culture of Puerta Rico and the different political opinions that people have there.
