Trip to San Juan



On September 27, 2018, I decided to take a one-day trip to visit my mother's only living sister, Titi Mery, who was not doing well. She was always so happy to have her relatives visit her. And she never failed to take us to have lunch at the Restaurante Duarte in the complex (Mita) where she lived!! Titi Mery died in 2022. May she rest in peace! I will miss her smile, laughter and kindness.

The photos below were taken from inside the jetblue plane
