My Inspiring Trip

I was very lucky to have some time off for traveling during Christmas last year. It was for few days, but I really enjoyed every minute of it. It was fun, relaxing and inspiring. I went to Puerto Rico, and spend those days surrounded by beautiful beaches, sun, palms, and nature. I find nature very inspiring as well as my favorite place in Puerto Rico: "The old San Juan". The old San Juan is a bohemian style city which streets are paved with cobbles of adoquine, a blue stone cast from furnace slag; they were brought over a ballast on Spanish ships and time and moisture have lent them their characteristic color. The city includes more than 400 carefully restored 16th and 17th century Spanish colonial buildings. The Plaza de Hostos is located near La Casita, features artisan displays, sanck stands, and traditional piragueros, who sell shaved ice topped with tropical fruit syrup..yummy!!!

I took a lot of pictures that I use as inspiration. I'm going to start with some of them and soon I will be posting more. I hope you like them :)

Here buying handmade jewelry from some artisans

Surfing is the main sport in Puerto Rico, even children love it

The rocks remind me textured fabrics. The beautiful sea against them look like soft and hard blending. Very much alike to some styles in fashion where soft fabrics and textured ones are mixed in an outfit.

Another thing that I love about the Old San Juan, is the people. They're all very friendly and live a very relaxed and bohemian life..Lots of artists live there too.
