Help Us Find High Speed Internet Service in Puerto Rico

Author: Stefan | Filed under: Technology

When I first moved down to Rincon, the office I rented used Choice Cable for Internet access and it was very disappointing. Service went down all the time and download/upload speeds were unbearably slow 50% of the time. After quite a bit of research, I decided to use Commercial grade DMAX DSL as our Internet [...]

The Nuclear Dome in Rincon Puerto Rico – The Real Deal

Author: Stefan | Filed under: Puerto Rico

Matt, Conner and I went skin diving this morning for more lobsters. We were drinking coffee at 4:30 am and spent about an hour and a half exploring Reactor Reef, the reef that sits just north of Domes surfing beach. We hopped in about 100 yards around the corner on domes trail and hunted around [...]

A Day in the Life: Rincon

Author: Stefan | Filed under: Construction, Family/Friends, Puerto Rico

Today was a long day. Everything about it was Rincon Puerto Rico to me. Conner and I went surfing at one of the local spots this morning and had it all to ourselves from 6:30am to 8:00am when a few of our friends paddled out. The wind was slack and the waves were about head [...]

Skin Diving in Rincon Has Rewards

Author: Stefan | Filed under: Puerto Rico

My buddy Conner (and his wife Dianne and son Van) flew into town just a few days ago. Conner moved from San Diego to Tampa about 6 months ago and no longer has surfing daily as an outlet. Looking for something healthy and fun to obsess over, he started skin diving with friends. After shooting [...]

We’ve Been Baking More Then Bread…

Author: Summer | Filed under: Babies, Family/Friends

Well, apparently we have been baking more then just bread around here. We have a bun in the oven! A 15-week old bun to be exact. So, around the end of July there will be yet another new family member to the CA2PR family (and this one won’t have four legs…hopefully!). And in case you [...]

Keller and picked [...]

Seasonal Fruit – Puerto Rico Style

Author: Stefan | Filed under: Food

Summer and I have heard from both sides regarding grocery shopping in Rincon and we have been on both sides regarding the availability and consistency of the Econo grocery store. This month, I can only say that Econo is consistently inconsistent when it comes to carrying products that are on our grocery list. For example, [...]
