Everything is late in PR

There is a running (sort of) joke that everything is late in Puerto Rico. If a party invitation says 7:00, don't expect the party to start until 9:00. Or 10:00.

This year, even Tax Day was late. Monday, April 15th was a holiday so Tax Day wasn't until April 16th.

And yes, I procrastinated way too long and had to stand in line for two hours to fill my taxes. (Here, even if you mail your taxes in on time, you have to go to a government office called "la colecturia" to have your tax form stamped.)
