This blog is a plática, a conversation, in both Spanish and English about being a Boricua, a Puerto Rican, en la luna, or on the moon (or on its metaphorical facsimile: the United States). The phrase is the title of a poem by Juan Antonio Corretjer, which was made into a song by Roy Brown and updated by Puerto Rican Spanish-rock group Fiel a la Vega.

Comings and goings
One of the highlights of summer is riding the motorcycle with my husband. We mostly like to visit peach and apple orchards, or go for ice cream at the nearby Velvet factory, or just go for long rides with no aim in mind, passing endless rows of corn.
Now that my husband has new saddlebags we've even gone to two department stores to get, first, a quilt and, later, a pillow, and been able to transport both back home.
As August reaches it mid point, the summer is inevitably moving toward its end but, thankfully, there's still plenty left to enjoy.
