San Juan Roadtrip

We recently had to go to San Juan to take some paperwork so Elaine can get her Speech-Language Pathologist's license her in PR. She has two college degrees and has taught at the university level. She received her Masters degree with honors. She has (and has given the licensing people) copies of her high school, undergrad, and graduate transcripts.

The junta, the group that oversees licensing, denied her application for a provisional license (until she takes the test in October) because she did not show and provide a copy of her high school diploma! Are you kidding me?!?!?! Apparently they weren't. So Elaine's sister dug her hs diploma out of a box in her basement in Cleveland and sent it to us. All is well now - we think. The junta meets on the 30th and we should know the first week of July.

Her high school diploma? Are you kidding me?

There was some fun in the trip though.


Taking a tip from the Japanese, where horizontal space is at a premium, this carfair along Carr. 18 in San Juan went vertical to display cars.

On the way home we saw not one but two Ford F150 pickups with three horses in back. I hate to say "only in Puerto Rico" but I've never seen horses transported in the beds of pickups. I have heard it's not all that uncommon in West Texas. People, especially those from the States, kinda freak out about horses in pickup trucks but for the most part, the horses seem okay with it. And We're fine with it. As long as the horses aren't driving.
