I’m always afraid to photograph people, those you don’t know and in open streets. Because it was a lesson learned the hard way.

Ponce is a relatively young vibrant city in the south. We would have loved to spend a night there, but the hotels were a bit expensive (same/little more than San Juan); so we stayed in Rincón and drove through Ponce to get to Guanica. For a while on a hot and muggy afternoon, we played tourists in downtown Ponce; it got uninteresting pretty quickly. We asked in Spanish about the other things to do and a family that was feeding chips to the pigeons in the courtyard of Lady Guadalope’s church (duh!) suggested a trip to the boardwalk.

The Ponce boardwalk is something of a community gathering place for the whole city and we bought some very Caribbean rum and pineapple pumpkin before lazing around. Before I knew it, I was playing with a bunch of kids running and catching each other and I started capturing some cute playful expressions on my camera. We inadvertently started to walk away and had barely crossed 200 feet, when we were stopped by a gruff ‘permissio’ (excuse me) behind us. A policeman, accompanied by a man who was peeping at the DSLR hanging from my neck, proceeded to question us in the purest Spanish. He was starting to worry me a little. The police are never good news; and it is never better if you are in a foreign country. After several failed communication attempts, he made us wait and went to find an English speaking official. They came back with a young policewoman who asked me if she had taken any pictures of this guy’s daughter. It became easy to understand what the point of discussion was. I calmly accepted; she demanded that i delete everything i complied with. They didn’t release us until the angry father did a thorough check of my entire memory card to make sure there were no heads other than ‘P’ and me. Then the matter was resolved and I rushed to refill my pina-colada with relief!

A father’s concern about shoes is understandable: he could turn his daughter’s image into ridiculous content and make money off the internet! But, as a citizen of a free country in a public place, it’s a bit ridiculous to be asked to do what I did. Leave your loved ones at home if you are so picky. Even after googling photography laws in public places, I can’t seem to decide which is better, ethically and professionally. Is it a good idea to voluntarily show your subjects the photographs you have taken to see if they are appreciated or frowned upon? Or just inform everyone in your frame before raising the camera to your eyes and getting bland shots?

But I ramble…

Two more places, Rincón, Adjuntas, deserve to be discussed before concluding the Caribbean side. The surf town of Rincón is just that and some yoga on the beach at 6am that you have to be prepared for. Rincon Inn offers good hostel facilities and a friendly group of longtime travelers whose days are rarely different: surf before it gets too hot in the morning and watch the sun go down with a few cold beers in the evening.

Right in the middle of the mountains of the Cordillera Central is Adjuntas. I had no valid reason for choosing it for an overnight stop; some tense hours of driving on twisty single lane roads to get here. We checked into our sweltering hotel room and decided to have dinner and stay out as much as possible. To our dismay, the word “bohemian” could not have described any other place better; We were truly foreigners in this foreign land! After enduring a few stares from the locals on the highway and central park, we retired to our satin-lined beds in our hotel. A local cafe where we had breakfast the next day, Panaderia Sancho, made up for some of our woes. The heartiest of Puerto Rican baked goods and a hot chocolate for the last morning on this always sunny island!

What are you looking for in a Caribbean vacation? No doubt you will find it and more on the stunning beaches of Aruba, where the temperature is always around 80 degrees. This island in the Netherlands Antilles is sure to make all your dreams come true, whether you’re on your honeymoon, celebrating your retirement, or giving the family the trip of a lifetime.

As one of the ABC islands of the Caribbean, it’s easy to see why it’s the preference of most tourists year-round. Since you are outside of the hurricane belt, you don’t have to worry about hurricane warnings. So plan your vacation around your time, not the weather. Time spent on the beach will be relaxing with no hawkers trying to tempt you to buy from them and since the humidity is fairly low you’ll always feel comfortable.

Aruban history

The first inhabitants of the island arrived here by sea from Venezuela. They were the Arawak Indians who fled from the neighboring continent to find peace from being constantly under threat of attack from Carib tribes. Right after Columbus discovered the New World, Spanish explorers discovered Aruba and made it a colony of Spain. It remained in this state until it was taken over by the Dutch in the first decades of the 17th century. Until its independence in 1936, the island was a Dutch protectorate and still has ties to the Netherlands. The residents have Dutch passports and in addition to the official Dutch language, they also speak Spanish and English.

Enjoying what Aruba has to offer

There is no doubt that most visitors come to Aruba to sunbathe on the beaches and play in the turquoise waters of the Caribbean. Palm Beach and Eagle Beach are favorites and can get quite crowded during tourist season. If you want to go topless then Manchebo Beach is for you. For those who want more privacy, Baby Beach is exactly what you are looking for.

Hotels and resorts are conveniently built along the beaches, which are all public beaches on this island. Dip your toes in the warm water just steps from your door, or stroll down the beach at sunset for a romantic experience you won’t soon forget.

No matter what time of year you visit Aruba, swimming and snorkeling conditions are excellent. Children can easily swim at the beach because the waters are quite shallow. They are sure to be excited to see the colorful fish that swim in these waters. Hotels and resorts also have a wide range of children’s activities throughout the day, leaving parents free to sit back and relax poolside with a cool drink. Babysitting services are available in the evening, allowing adults to partake in their own entertainment.

Everyone will enjoy taking a trip on a submarine to see the underwater world. This underwater journey is one of the highlights of an Aruba vacation and one not to be missed. See the world outside the beaches and resorts by driving through the countryside to take in the spectacular scenery. The landscape is dotted with huge rocks and the fishing villages welcome you with their colorful houses. For the avid shopper, Oranjestad offers incredible shopping venues where you’ll have a hard time deciding what to buy to take home.

Enjoy Aruba’s nightlife

You’ll think you’re in Las Vegas when you see the myriad of casinos where you can try your luck at the tables or slot machines. Who knows? You may earn enough to be able to stay longer. The large-scale performances also rival those in Las Vegas and since these are family shows, children can enjoy this venue with their parents. The bars and clubs have dance and cabaret shows.

Where to stay

Along with the big resorts, there are large and small hotels that give you the opportunity to choose the rates that best suit your budget. Many of these offer efficient style accommodation and some are quite intimate in family run establishments. All of these tend to fill up very quickly, which means you shouldn’t risk not making reservations or waiting until just before you arrive.

Most hotels do not include taxes when you check rates. Therefore, you should ask about taxes when you make your reservations. The norm is a 6% room tax and 15-20% service charge. However, you can save money by choosing an all-inclusive hotel and resort so that the price you pay includes your room, meals, and beverages. During the low season, you can take advantage of much lower rates.

Dining Options in Aruba

You certainly won’t go hungry when you visit Aruba, no matter what your taste in food. Along with the traditional cuisine of the island, you can delight yourself with international food. Many of the restaurants specialize in various cuisines, such as Italian, Dutch, French, and Cuban. And of course, there are plenty of places to sample the local catch of the day.

Paris Hilton is well known all over the world. The rich heiress is featured in all the celebrity magazines. Paris Hilton is now famous for walking carelessly, spending huge amounts of money on useless items that are only designed for her own pleasure.

Paris Hilton has appeared on reality shows like “The Simple Life,” where she basically pretended to live like normal people, but seemed more to despise the people she shared her life with.

Paris Hilton has been rich from the start when her mother married a Hilton who was fortunate enough to be born into a wealthy family thanks to investing in hotels around the world. Is Paris Hilton just a spoiled rich girl? Is Paris Hilton a role model for our younger generation? Time will tell.

It has been appearing so far that Paris was more interested in her appearance and herself than anything else in the world. The fact that she was recently sentenced to 45 days in jail for violating a court order by driving her car with her license suspended has once again brought attention to Paris Hilton.

The sentence against Paris Hilton was for driving under the influence of alcohol and then continuing to drive her car while her license was suspended. Was justice too severe in the case against Paris Hilton? Did Paris Hilton receive a harsher sentence for being a celebrity?

By sentencing Paris Hilton to prison for recidivism, the US justice made it clear that it does not favor the rich. The sentence against Paris Hilton also wants to teach her that she had complete freedom to use the services of her driver and she was not obliged in any way to drive her car. The award against Paris Hilton could also have saved someone’s life by preventing Paris from using her car again while she is under the influence of it or when she is not in optimal driving condition.

Personally, I think this jail sentence for Paris Hilton could be the big break she so badly needed. Therefore, by being confined in jail for 45 days, she could begin to reflect on her life and realize that she has a more important role to play in society. As a very rich and popular person, she might decide to spread happiness and engage in more useful activities instead of spending all day shopping. California’s economy might take a hit at first, but it will bounce back!

Paris Hilton embodies every young woman’s dream of being beautiful and rich beyond reason. Lots of people hate it, lots of people love it, and lots of people love to hate it. The fact is that everyone can’t help but watch and read when she’s in the spotlight. It would be very powerful if she turned her jail sentence into an opportunity to become the positive role model she was given almost from her birth.

Possibilities like participating in charity events or helping third world countries would have a huge impact and it wouldn’t be much of a job for Paris Hilton, given the support staff around her.

Paris Hilton’s 45-day prison sentence could be the blessing in disguise that she and the entire world have long needed.

Brisbane, also affectionately known as Brisvegas, is the capital city of Queensland, Australia.

It boasts international modern art exhibitions, many five-star restaurants, and world-class shopping facilities. The Queen St Mall is the hub of specialist shops; however, there are also designer stores scattered throughout the Fortitude Valley and New Farm regions.

It is also known for its conference and exhibition facilities on the South Bank with art installations, museums, theaters and a convention center located on the former Expo grounds. As a cultural hub, Brisbane’s Southbank is the perfect place to catch an award-winning show or musical.

Brisbane is also known as Queensland’s gourmet capital, with plenty of restaurants, gourmet purveyors, coffee roasters and delicatessens. These are centered on the city’s James St precinct.

Brisbane is also known as the massage and day spa capital of Queensland.

With over 200 day spa and massage providers, Brisbane is home to some of the best day spa providers and masseurs in Australia.

These range from the large day spas that are linked to five-star hotels, to smaller providers that work attached to hair and beauty salons.

Brisbane’s larger day spas may include more exotic massage styles such as Ka Huna, Lomi Lomi and hot stone massages, and may incorporate steam rooms, saunas and other facilities into their treatments.

Smaller providers tend to offer hour-long Swedish or restorative massage treatments and tend to be cheaper.

One of the most popular beauty and massage services in Brisbane is the mobile day spa service. Some offer more exotic massage styles such as chocolate massage, seashell massage, Russian massage, and Vietnamese four-hand massage. Ripple also does the more traditional styles of remedy, relaxation, pregnancy, and hot stone massage.

Brisbane has long been known as a region for relaxation, so it’s no surprise that massages and the day spa are popular here. At the time of Federation, Queensland was the fastest growing state in Australia, and Brisbane was its economic center. Despite the drought, floods, and depression of the 1890s, trade and industry flourished.

After World War II, Brisbane continued to grow with increased industrial activity and immigration-driven population levels.

Today, Brisbane remains one of Australia’s favorite capitals with cultural, popular and financial growth. It now stretches from the central river with rapidly expanding suburbs to meet its population growth.

While holidays in Morocco at any time of the year can be a magical experience, staying in a villa in Marrakech in March can be particularly enchanting.

That’s because the annual Marrakech International Magic Festival takes place during the month with the world’s top magicians and illusionists descending on the North African city to perform.

Spanning four days, you should find that the variety of acts on display during the festival leaves you spellbound!

Stars from Monte Carlo, Las Vegas and Beijing, as well as local magicians, come to town to show off their skills. If you want to see some of the biggest names in the business do their thing, staying in a villa in Morocco could mean you’re in the perfect place to do it.

However, the festival is also a platform for lesser-known acts. Who knows, you might see the next David Copperfield, Derren Brown or David Blaine perform!

You’ll find that most of the event’s biggest shows take place at the Teatro Real, so if there’s something you really want to see here, you might be advised to try and book in advance.

The Palais des Congres and Jamma El Fna square are just some of the other places where you can see captivating performances, while there will also be street magicians performing feats of trickery.

No matter where you end up watching the magicians and illusionists perform, you could be part of the routine, as they often call members of the audience up on stage for help. But just because you helped them in their act doesn’t mean you’ll find out how they were able to do it. Magicians don’t tend to reveal the mastery behind their tricks.

The fascinating shows during the March festival really have to be seen to be believed.

Once the evening show is over, head back to your Moroccan villas where you can kick back and relax in comfortable surroundings before watching some more captivating performances the next day. Visiting the Morocco International Magic Festival is sure to leave you enthralled and in awe.

Puerto Rico has several milestones that have great significance in the history of this place. Various monuments and memorials can be found throughout Puerto Rico that made this land an interesting place to visit. If you’re thinking of going to Puerto Rico, be sure to visit these historic places to make the most of your vacation.

One of the things you must do in Puerto Rico is to visit its forts. The forts located in El Morro and Vieques are must-see places. At El Morro, you will see the remains of the Spanish fortress that were built during the 16th century. This fortress was built to safeguard the Old San Juan region from enemy attacks from the sea. Also, El Fortin Conde de Mirasol or Fuerte de Vieques is a fort located on Vieques that was built in 1816. This fortress is home to the Vieques Museum of Art and History.

Furthermore, a visit to the cathedral is also an interesting activity in Puerto Rico. This land has the Cathedral of San Juan which is the second oldest cathedral located in the western hemisphere. Built in 1521, the remains of Juan Ponce de León, the founder of the settlement, were buried in this Cathedral. There is also the Iglesia Iglesia San Miguel Arcángel located in Cabo Rojo. This church was built in 1783 and is considered as a historical landmark by the government.

Other interesting places to visit are Ballaha Barracks, a museum featuring highlights of America; La Casa del Libro, a museum of art and history books; Institute of Puerto Rican Culture La Fortaleza, the Governor’s oldest mansion; and the Arecibo Observatory, the world’s largest single-aperture telescope.

On July 24, 1847, 143 men, three women, and two children founded Salt Lake City on the eastern shore of the Great Salt Lake. These members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, also known as Mormons, fled to the eastern states largely due to religious persecution and discrimination. They were the first whites to settle in the state of Utah.

After the lynching of the church by its founder Joseph Smith, the church’s second president, Brigham Young, led most of the church’s members in the west: the city area still officially belonged to Mexico and was perceived as hostile to escape. of the territory of the United States. Ultimately this doesn’t happen, but until the US central government could clearly come here, the Mormons were already well enough established that their existence wasn’t threatened.
