I love Latin culture.
And I heard about the opportunities in Puerto Rico.
We went down and visited and fell in love.
We were going to be there seven months a year, five months in Ohio.
And within the first 12 months, we're like, why in the hell are we going back to Ohio?

We've been there full time for almost seven years.
I'll die on the island.
We love it there.
Probably 8,000 in my community.
We live in a community called Palmas del Mar.
I think there are 800 – I'm sorry, 1,200 families, 800 Puerto Rican families, 400 U.S.
families.
But, you know –
Puerto Rico is different than Mexico.
In Mexico, I have wonderful friends from Mexico, but I'm still a gringo.
Puerto Rico, I'm a second cousin.
There's more Puerto Ricans that live in the US than there are on the island.
