This 4-day event is filled with music, dancing, drinking, local artisans selling their personal work and most of all locals and tourists celebrating the Christmas holidays collectively. There is a street on the north side of Old San Juan named in his honor. "The importance of this festival is that it keeps some of our cultural traditions alive, right in the heart of Puerto Rico's metro area...there couldn't be a better time for them than right at the end of the Christmas season" (latinomusiccafe.com). The history of the fiesta "is said to have its origin in the mid 20th century, when a Spaniard priest of the San Jose Church in San Juan by the name of Juan Madrazo, decided to start festivities similar to the ones done to patron saints ("Fiestas Patronales") in the other towns of Puerto Rico." After traveling to Spain, he brought back "cabezudos," which are 'giant big heads' that were used in the parade.   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d25e63b078695296a48289/1524356021045-US5RF1F60UBGDZI8S4TT/IMG_2273.jpg Oh The Places - The Great Wall of China Eeek! My first thought when I saw the stairs that were built in early 476 BC. There’s over 3700 miles of stairs, breathtaking views from anywhere, and a great way to workout your gluteus maximus. My friend Google had an interesting fact about the construction of the wall. It is estimated that up to 1 million people died while contrasting the Great Wall! I was in awe climbing each step to the top. To be honest, I was trying to maintain a rhythm in my breathing as to avoid passing out because these steps are no joke. Most parts of the wall have steep steps and narrow curves, but pacing myself was more important than reaching the top in a timely manner. It is said that it takes about 20 minutes to climb up one section to a tower area, but when the stairs begin to defeat you, you take your time. Breathless! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d25e63b078695296a48289/1507078719113-56F4WDF0KBHG553DVHEA/IMG_3200.JPG Oh The Places https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d25e63b078695296a48289/1507580766282-NP9YURLOBFBUW3RPTLBR/image1.jpeg Oh The Places https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d25e63b078695296a48289/1520220030773-ORGC5WG9070SDX856ANA/IMG_0120.jpg Oh The Places - Making friends Well actually, just wanting a picture and the guy was taking forever so i jumped in his :) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d25e63b078695296a48289/1589737512428-ODMWCVBYY2K4GSRD85C4/710C6D77-A63B-4F5E-A618-1E11A17EC847.jpeg Oh The Places https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d25e63b078695296a48289/1507579751409-WQ9ATBW66PQPK16OHTLS/IMG_8428.JPG Oh The Places https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d25e63b078695296a48289/1529382024805-80EC3F6QUYVRO5C1Z4CJ/1E2B5A61-A2CC-4043-B2EB-38AF2665E8E6.jpeg Oh The Places - Unreal When I say “the picture doesn’t do the view justice,“ I mean it.
