*Rain Forest Motto: It has just rained, is raining, or is going to rain.
*The ‘Americanization’ (read fast food, Walmart, Kmart) is more prevalent that we expected.
*English is spoken, mostly by younger PR Residents outside of the bigger cities and by a great number of people in the service industry. Speaking Spanish comes in very handy here.
*Tourism seems to be the number one industry in PR. Even so there were still places where we couldn’t find restaurants or a place to buy postcards.
*There were friendly people where ever we were in PR. It was very unlike our experience in France in September (where a good number of people were not friendly).
