so far, in puerto rico....

i've been eatin great food, keepin up on the reading, layin on the beach, and enjoying the culture. i thought the /r/ --> /l/ thing was kind of blown up in my linguistics classes. even my friend david duran (mexican) told solymar (puerto rican): "he's going to pueLto Lico!" but, it's totally happening everywhere. so far i've heard /l/ instead of /r/ in a quite a few words, like amol, mujel, pelo, and even il!!

it's been great, and i'll write more later, but here's the link to pics from day 1 & 2

puerto rican round-a-bout. here's my 9-day route
