What I will narrate next is our journey through Puerto Rico that we had the opportunity to travel through the waters of the Lesser Antilles. Puerto Rico is a free state of the United States, which means that it is an American state. Although we think people are not particularly proud of it, because they feel more Caribbean than anything else. Day 1 The flight we took from Miami had an estimated departure time from Miami at 13.05 hours but until two days before there had been flight cancellations due to Hurricane Emily. This is why we took off definitively at around 3 pm which meant that our plans for that first day on the island were a little upset. Upon arrival at the San Juan international airport and after the mandatory checks we went to wait for the shuttle of the rental car that we had hired in advance. As it was only to see the island we opted on this occasion for a small car than the one we rented in Miami days ago when arriving in the United States. The San Juan airport is rela...

Last spring I began to analyze the possibility of a trip of a week, more or less, to visit Wales, that quite unknown land of the West of Great Britain. I tried the possibilities of flights to Bristol or Cardiff, but the offer was less, and it did not suit me. At the end I got, at a very good price, a flight to Liverpool, which is close to North Wales. I rented a car so I could move freely along the route. I had always wanted to visit Stonehenge someday. I did not come by the way, but it was not a great detour of the route either. So I started to dive on the Internet to see what the visits were like, the schedules, the prices. I was able to see the various options, and I saw that the possibility was offered, for small groups, to make a special visit, outside the usual opening hours. Depending on the time of year, there were one or several visits at dawn, before the opening, and others at dusk, after the closing time. The light of a bright morning is great to get excellent photographs of...

The origins of Mint Julep remain a great mystery. It is a cocktail with a lot of tradition and history. Although I must say that the origins of this cocktail which is recorded as one of the official cocktail of the International Bartenders Association (IBA) are not very clear. Over time, it has more than help clarify its origin made the history of the cocktail much more diffuse, not being quite possible that we will ever know. Its first appearance was in a book by John Davis published in London in 1803. Here it was described as a dram of spirituous liquor that bears mint, taken by Virginians in the morning. Davis did not specify whether the bourbon was the liquor used. Another of its stories is that the Mint Julep emerged in the southern United States, probably during the eighteenth century. Kentucky Senator Henry Clay, took the drink to Washington DC, the Round Robin Bar's famous Willard Hotel during his stay in the city. Another theory is that the origin of Julep is in the ...
