From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Puerto Rico (pronounced /ˌpwɛrtə ˈriːkoʊ/ or /ˌpɔrtə ˈriːkoʊ/), officially the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (Spanish: "Estado Libre Asociado de Puerto Rico" — literally Associated Free State of Puerto Rico), is a self-governing unincorporated territory of the United States located in the northeastern Caribbean, east of the Dominican Republic and west of the Virgin Islands. Puerto Rico is composed of an archipelago that includes the main island of Puerto Rico and a number of smaller islands, the largest of which are Vieques, Culebra, and Mona. The main island of Puerto Rico is the smallest by land area and second smallest by population among the four Greater Antilles, which also include Cuba, Hispaniola, and Jamaica. Puerto Ricans often call the island Borinquen, from Borikén, its indigenous Taíno name. The terms boricua and borincano derive from Borikén and Borinquen respectively, and are commonly used to identify someone of Puerto Rican heritage. The island is also popularly known as "La Isla del Encanto", which translated means "The Island of Enchantment." From Wikipedia under the

I wonder if it is due to the climate. If it is the climate, then there must be a variety that thrives in the PR climate. Would love to know if there is one. Asked by JAKEfromNH - Fri May 18 08:48:14 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. Try this. First of all dig a hole about 6 omches deep and then in the hole mix 1/s of the dirt you took out, with 1 cup of bone meal and water to make a thick paste about the consistency of thick pancake batter. Put the plant right into this mixture and then fill the hole with the remaining dirt. Then using dry organic matter cover the ground surrounding the plant with a layer about two inches thick and during the life of the plant keep the area under the plant covered thusly. The bone meal will be great for plant growth and many fruits and the ground covering will keep the ground moist and preserve water and will also lhe bottom layers of it will rot into the soil and also keep weeds down. This should give you a great plant. Answered by unknown - Fri May 18 10:46:35 2007 Where is the best place to snorkel in Puerto Rico? Q. My family of 5 (2 adults and 3 girls in their 20's) are planning a trip to Puerto Rico in August. Where would you recommend we go snorkeling? We are planning to stay in Isle Verde. Should we go on our own or should we go on a tour? Asked by Gail - Mon Jul 14 08:40:56 2008 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments A. Isla Verde is a great area to stay at, but its not the best for snorkeling. The best snorkeling can be found of the east coast town of Fajardo. There are 2 islands named Culebra & Vieques that have great snorkeling conditions. You can take a cheap ferry ride from Fajardo. Also the smaller cays of Palomintio & Icacos have great snorkeling but there are not ferries, you can pay a boater to take you over. Culebra: Vieques: Also on the south coast of PR, playa la parguera near Ponce/Guanica has good snorkeling & you dont need to take a boat. You can rent equipment right on the beach. Or if you would like to take a boat off the coast, then caja de muertos island off the coast of Ponce is nice too. & off the west coast town of Rincon is… [cont.] Answered by nena - Mon Jul 14 09:28:50 2008 Does anyone have any information or a website on tax deeds in Puerto Rico?
Q. Any website with info on tax deed for Puerto Rico. What happens when property taxes are delinquent in Puerto Rico. Is the property sold in auction or what happens. Also who collects property taxes? Provinces or the Govt of Puerto Rico? Any website even in Spanish would help. Thanks Asked by W Q - Sun Mar 23 21:16:44 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. The official site in Puerto Rico for information on property taxes in CRIM (Centro de Recaudacion de Ingresos Municipales), known in English as "Commonwealth of Puerto Rico Municipal Collection Center ". As far as I know, some properties go for years and years without the government realizing that no property taxes have ever been paid on them, especially in rural areas. If they are sold at auction or not, I'm not sure. You can get all of the property tax information from that site. Although, the site is in Spanish only. Good luck!
