The picture I have included here found on the Wiki is where my dad proposed to my mom. I have been to this park many times growing up. Mom and Dad were married on April 16, 1966 and will be celebrating their 42nd wedding anniversary this year.
Mom's flight leaves in half an hour from Chicago to San Juan...will take about 7 hours to get there. Leaving gray cold skies to the balmy breezes of the Caribbean. Ponce's shores lies on the edge of the Caribbean ocean. I remember growing up playing in its salty recesses at La Guancha. A beautiful place for families. Well, at least it was when I was a child. It has become more developed since then and though does have some issues with reckless youth I still find it a nice retreat for the most part:
From the Wiki:
Ponce (IPA [ponse]), officially the Autonomous Municipality of Ponce, is a municipality of Puerto Rico located in the Southern Coastal Plain region of the island, south of Adjuntas, Utuado and Jayuya; east of Peñuelas; and west of Juana Díaz. It has a total of 19 wards, including the historic Ponce Pueblo (the downtown area of the city).
Ponce, the second largest city in Puerto Rico outside of the San Juan metropolitan area,[1] is named after Juan Ponce de León y Loayza, the grandson of Spanish conquistador Juan Ponce de León. It is located a few miles from the Caribbean coastline of the island. Ponce is often referred to as La Perla del Sur (The Pearl of the South) and La Ciudad Señorial de Puerto Rico (Majestic city of Puerto Rico).
