Answer
The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico is located in the Caribbean Sea, about 1,000 mi east-southeast of Miami, Fla. A possession of the United States, it consists of the island of Puerto Rico plus the adjacent islets of Vieques, Culebra, and Mona. Puerto Rico has a mountainous, tropical ecosystem with very little flat land and few mineral resources.
US citizens do not require Passports and Visas to travel in or out of Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico is part of the USA. The currency used in Puerto Rico is the US dollar. Puerto Rico is a Spanish-speaking nation. Due to our close ties with the USA, most people speak some English and many are fluent.
Old San Juan The walls and fortifications of Old San Juan are still standing and are part of the heritage left by Spain to Puerto Rico. Today the cobblestone streets, interior patios, hanging balconies, plazas, and chapels make of this historic city a charming and picturesque place to visit.
The Spanish used then to protect the transportation of gold, silver and jewels, on its route from America to Spain, the Spaniards built a series of forts in the Caribbean. The beautiful city of San Juan founded in 1521. A massive wall and forts were built around the city to protect it from the enemy. The city was used as a stopover for ships that came from Spain and a stronghold to prevent the enemy from taking control of the island and making Puerto Rico an enemy base.
Although Puerto Rican cooking is somewhat similar to both Spanish and Mexican cuisine, it is a unique tasty blend of Spanish, African, TaÃno, and American influences, using such indigenous seasonings and ingredients as coriander, papaya, cacao, nispero, apio, plantains, and yampee. Locals call their cuisine "cocina criolla".
beaches At the shoreline, there are all types of activities to enjoy. Watercraft sports such as kayaks, catamarans, and water-skimming tricycles, moored in shallow waters is a trampoline and there is fishing for marlin and snapper. Those who want to venture farther out hop on a boat to reach some of the best diving and snorkeling spots in the Caribbean. A mask and fins are all you will need to explore the reef at Gilligan's Island, five minutes away by ferry. After dark is one of Puerto Rico's most exciting light shows
National park
El Yunque, Puerto Rico's rain forest is necessary to see. It spreads out over a mountain, so if you walk uphill from the road you are in a cool rain forest. At any altitude, you will see numerous varieties of plant and animal life. If you are lucky, you can catch a glimpse of the endangered Puerto Rican parrot & hear the song of the local Coqui tree frog. There are tons of hiking trails and the Yokahu tower is a great spot to see the forest from above the trees. Two trails lead you straight down to La Mina waterfalls. You can swim at the bottom of the falls in the cold refreshing water

Should I Join the Circus?
Zehpyr Sto
I am thinking about joining a circus because I can do a backflip through a hula-hoop, and much more acrobatic things on the ground and on a trampoline. My step-dad thinks I should, my aunt thinks I should, and almost everybody I know says I should try, but the problem is, I'm extremely shy! I'm afraid that won't think I have what it takes, and I'm just worried about what they'll say. What should I do? Should I at least try, or should I just say forget it?
Answer
It takes a lot more than doing a back flip or simple acrobatics to be accepted by a circus. My FIRST question would be HOW OLD ARE YOU? If you are UNDER 17 then NO circus will hire you until you are at least 17.
Children can no longer just run away and join a circus.. they have all the people they need to water the elephants and clean the animal stalls because there are 10 unskilled people for every job that comes available and many circuses don't even HAVE animals any longer.
To join ANY CIRCUS you will need FORMAL TRAINING... just because you can do a back flip only says you can be TRAINED... The Circus is a BUSINESS... they won't TRAIN YOU unless you can bring some basic talent to the audition.
Here are some recognized CIRCUS ARTS SCHOOLS where you can at least learn enough of the BASICS to apply for an AUDITION to be in a circus..
NOTE: I have not vetted these circus schools, I am merely listing as many as I can find that SEEM to be legitimate.. It is up to YOU to do your own investigations to see if any school will fit your needs. For a COMPLETE LIST of Circus Schools then go to GOOGLE and enter CIRCUS SCHOOLS then follow the links to see what else is out there you may find of use.
