Puerto Rico officially the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.
- Do you know what Commonwealth is?
- Is Puerto Rico a country?
- Do you know any other names for Puerto Rico?
In Laura´s show and tell she said that in San Juan, the capital of Puerto Rico, the history is a very similar one to our Cartagena history, which is written into the very walls of its colonial places and the blend of indigenous and Spanish.
Let´s talk a little about history:
- Did you know that in Puerto Rico as in Cartagena as well, there is a Castillo de San Felipe and a Catedral de Santa Catalina? Would you tell us what their differences are?
- Do you know what a Puerto Rican Jibaro is?
- Do you know what a Colombian Jibaro is?
LAURA GOOD SHOW TELL LOOKS VERY NICE IN YOUR PHOTOS PUERTO RICO, I ALSO LIKE TO TRAVEL A LOT AND I WOULD LIKE IT SOMEDAY TO KNOW THIS COUNTRY.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have the opportunity to go to Puerto Rico sooner than later.
DeleteYea, in the photos that we saw in the presentation, can see that Cartagena and Puerto are very similar in the urban structure. puerto Rico is a beautiful place. I think the people from Puerto Rico tell them Boricuas, but I don´t have idea the other name of the island.
ReplyDeleteBoricuas is a good one, Julian.
DeleteWhy don´t you try to search for more information?
The people from Puerto Rico, don´t need visa to enter to E.U
ReplyDeleteThe Jibaro is a drug dealer. I think in the two countries.
That´s true, Puerto Rican´s don´t need visa to travel to U.S.A.
DeleteBut you are totally wrong about the definition of Jirabo for both countries.
Once again I invite to search and find out the correct information.

Puerto Rico, officially the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico is an unincorporated territory of the United States self-governing status.
ReplyDeletePuerto Rico being a commonwealth to the United States that gives guarantees for economic and military be protected by the U.S., have its government and under these conditions, are a Nation.
- The current name of "Puerto Rico" refers to the wealth that left the port of San Juan Bautista. Christopher Columbus named it San Juan Bautista. The tribe native Taino called the island Borinquen, which means "Land of Our Lord Almighty and Bravo," which evolved into the name of Borinquen, a name still used in reference to Puerto Rico. From there comes the adjective "boricua".
