I’m back in PR just in time for Three Kings Day. In case I could possibly have forgotten this enormous Puerto Rican holiday, I was reminded when we saw the Kings riding to the town plaza this afternoon with a police escort, and then later when they paraded past the school with an enormous speaker system and cheering fans.
This parade seemed especially loud because of the peace and quiet I have been experiencing in New Jersey for the past three weeks. I had a relaxing time with my family while I rested and recuperated from an arduous semester. I am hoping and praying that this new year will be filled with good health and strength for the second half of the school year.
I wish all of you a happy, healthy, and blessed New Year, too!
How wonderful to be able to celebrate religious holidays openly in the streets without someone being offended. Happy, healthy New Year to you!
