Puerto+Rico

=Puerto Rico here I Come!=

A Holiday with a Pig’s Bladder Puerto Rican holidays are not normal to people who have American holidays. They dress as big monsters. They go around the town trying to hit people on the head with a pig’s bladder. Just think about being hit with pig bladder! Kids try to steal bells from the monsters. The monsters wear horns to scare people away. Talk about fun! If it weren’t for the kids, the town wold be a DISASTER! A pig's bladder

 **Fun Facts - The blue around the star is for that Puerto Rico is surrounded with water - Some people marry at age sixteen in Puerto Rico - Puerto Ricans are American citations - People who dress as monsters hit people on the head with a pig's bladder - America let Puerto Rico have more freedom such as letting them choose their own government or letting them have their own flag - The red on the flag means the blood of the people who fought for their country - The art in Puerto Rico has a lot of the forest animals in it because of it's beauty in the forest ( like these pictures down here) - The climate is rainy but warm - El Yunque is mostly a rain forest not a city **  This is a tree frog made from marbles on a bamboo This is a snake made from stone This is a Puerto Rican bird

A Luscious Beach called Luquillo A beach for fun if you go there! Did I mention that it is one of Puerto Rico ’s most beautiful beaches? See a beautiful scene of the El Yunque mountains and rainforests. Beautiful fish and corals of all colors and sizes.

//A BEAUTIFUL sunset at Luquillo!// **If you don't believe me see for yourself!**

Seafood and Food Puerto Rico food is not too colorful. Because they are surrounded with water. They eat seafood such as mashed potatoes with cod, HUGE lobsters [the length of a full grown man’s arm], shrimp and crabs. They eat Plantains (sort of vegetable like a banana but have to be cooked to eat.) They like to eat pigs the size of a man! Compare that with your dad. Pretty big, right? They don’t add too many spices, they only add one or two. So when\if you go to Puerto Rico try seafood. If you don’t like seafood try it anyway it might grab your interest!
