Alicia's Amazing Trip To Puerto Rico: El Increible Viaje de Alicia a Puerto Rico - Paperback

During her summer vacation before entering junior high, Alicia convinces her mom to take a once in a lifetime trip to Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico is an island located between the Caribbean Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean. Alicia is overwhelmed with joy and excitement, because she and her mom will travel throughout the enchanted island visiting different towns from Old San Juan to Mayaguez. They both experience the language, culture, history, and geographic locations of such places as El Moro, La Casa Blanca, La Fortaleza, and the Capilla Del Cristo, which are all located in Old San Juan. While visiting Ponce, they got a chance to see the beautiful Parque De Bombas, which is a historical red and black firehouse that resembles a wax museum. They adored seeing the antique fire trucks, electric lights, and the octagon shaped windows.

In Western Puerto Rico, Alicia and Miss Runfio experienced the sights and sounds of Cabo Rojo, which is a coastal, rocky, beach stretching almost 20 miles. Perhaps, the most adventurous trip that Alicia and her mom took was visiting the town of Camuy, where they traveled hundreds of feet below the steep, dark, and scary caves covered with stalactite rocks. Can you imagine us wearing orange protective hats as though we were professional miners?
