Following the snow and cold in Russia, I went to Puerto Rico this week. Finally I was back in one of my favorite countries, especially because the people there are amazing!!!! Right after we landed, we had a press conference to discuss the Puerto Rico Open, an event that is being held on the Hotel Melia golf course, and the best players from all over the world are competing. So on Saturday, I went to take pictures with the golfers and enjoy the sport. On Sunday afternoon, I gave the prize to the winner of the event! I also visited the Governors house and he gave us a tour around the property. I got to meet his wife, The First Lady, and one of their sons. They were so nice! It was a real pleasure meeting them, I was sooo happy I could have the chance to meet them, and I came away very impressed because I never imagined they could be so nice and humble. They truly are a great family, and their vibe is beautiful, I loved them! Then, I finally had a morning were I could relax and take the sun. I saw my friends from Puerto Rico, and ate lots of delicious Latin food. It was a welcome to speak Spanish the whole time and enjoy the weather. We definitely had a great time in Rio Grande, thanks a lot to the Diaz family that made this trip possible. Right now I'm sitting in front of the pool, in 2 min we have to go home :( Why???? I want to stay!!! Roston, can we stay one more day??? Pleaseeee!!!!
