While working on a job last weekend in Puerto Rico, we went outside of San Juan to the place where a local sculptor, Juan Santos Torres, sells his wares. It was high on a hill outside of Cayey, about twenty miles south of the capitol, San Juan. I was there as part of a team attending the annual Puerto Rican Arts Fair evaluating artists and craftsmen for an online artist's web portal, Yellow Llama. After spending a few minutes, we were off again to a local "lechonera", where we had freshly roasted pork and other island treats for lunch, all the while listening to loud, live merengue music. It was marvelous...
