Now, as a "tourist" I visited this house museum that narrates an important part of the Puerto Rican history, the city of Jayuya, and the life of an important Puerto Rican figure, Nemesio R. Canales. This house museum is not the original structure, however it intends to represent the original one. This house contains original and vintage items of furniture, papers, books, and other utensils from the original owners and house. It is well kept and persevered. The staff in charge of the museum was very welcoming and polite. They gave information about the house and narrated some historical events occurred in the house and around it. It was a great experience, plus the museum is surrounded by vegetation and a beutiful view of mountains. I am glad that I'm still able to enjoy Puerto Rico's beautiful places and history. If you life in Puerto Rico and has never visites Jayuya, you love history, or you are simply visiting this city... this museum is recommended!

Artisans in Cabo Rojo & all over the Island are all underserved by ALL Tourists Dept's! Cabo Rojo is suppose to have Artisans in the Plaza Square Every Friday Saturday, but in my 1+mo stay No Artisan was ever there in July Thru early Aug (?) That said, I stumbled onto the Bead Shop in Cabo Rojo City Plaza Square in search of hardware for another project my sister and I darted in from the rain...SCORE! This shop is AMAZING had I been left to my own devices I could have easily spent 4-hrs and hundreds of $$$$, but alas, my sister is not a shopper and only let me stay until the rain passed. I was however able to sprint inside 2 other times once when my brother showed up (he returned with his wife to buy the softest PASHMINA's for gifts back in FL) and the last trip when i was sent to the market by myself to get 2 missing items for dinner and bread. I told the owner and her beautiful daughter and niece what I was making and luckily had one to show them once completed. I wish Bead Shops in the upper 48 were as organized and diverse as this one and YES the Ladies ALL Speak English! Ladies, hopefully by next years visit you will offer lessons (?) Say Yes to Lessons! I will be back on my next visit and be sure to see the YELP Review also.

We first heard about the goddess of fertility Caguana at the el Yunque forest gift shop. My wife…read morebeing a midwife we decided to check it out since it's close to Arecibo Observatory which we wanted to see anyway. I believe the official name of the place is: Caguana Indigenous Ceremonial Center but you might also find it on wikipedia using this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caguana_Ceremonial_Ball_Courts_Site. When we got there it was raining and the guards would not allow us to go in. So we checked out the one room museum with artifacts and descriptions of the Taino people's life style 700 years ago. Then there was a break in the rain and so they let us in on the condition that we would be careful. The guide did not speak English very well but my wife spoke Spanish fluently while I could make out the gist of what she was saying. If you are interested in cultures make sure to have the guide explain what you are looking at otherwise it is hard to decipher the meaning of the petroglyphs or of the surrounding structures and ceremonial ball courts. To us this was a very special experience since the rain kept other people away and we took off our slippers and walked barefoot on the soft mud of the ball courts. And with a few drops of rain dropping down on use, and the fog rising from the surrounding mountains we were able to get a feeling of what the Taino people may have been feeling 700 years ago.

We enjoyed talking to the park rangers about the Cohoba ritual and saw our first Cohoba tree. It can get muddy, so wear a pair of shoes you can rinse off.
