Back From Vacation


Hi Fans! I had a great time, with the family in Puerto Rico. While there, they took me to a "paranda". A "paranda" is a group of people that serenade the family you are visiting. Then, they let you in to their home and give you food and drinks. In the "parandas" of old, you'd then continue, on your way to the next "paranda" which is another home and on and on til daylight. Nowadays, you just visit one home and afterwards you return to your own home. It was fun cause I hadn't been to one since I was a teen. It's nice to see and participate in your traditions. People should try and conserve these traditions cause if not they are lost forever and won't be enjoyed by our future generations. Now go out there this year, hide some Easter eggs, carve your pumpkins, and for God's sake do some caroling!!!
