Surprisingly enough, we see quite a few celebrities in our sleepy little town of Rincon, PR. Around Christmas time last year Vanessa Williams and Rick Fox were seen taking a ride on the “Pintos R Us” horses at sunset and Glenn Close was spotted enjoying a meal with family at The Lazy Parrot/Smilin’ Joes.
Currently, presidential hopefuls Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are both in Puerto Rico for the 2008 Democratic primaries. While Barack is in San Juan, working. Hillary is kicking back at The Horned Dorset in Rincon. Sounds like someone is on vacation…
Here is a video of Hillary Clinton at a local Puerto Rican bar, sucking down a Presidente beer and doing a little dance to Enrique Iglesias “Just Wanna be with You”:
Can anyone of you locals guess what bar Hillary was at? The video was taken at a bar in San Juan.

The daily rain still hasn’t begun, but we have had a few great downpours in the afternoon that our plants love! Every time the rain comes, I am reminded of how slippery and muddy our unpaved driveway gets. Five out of ten times leaving the driveway when it is raining, Summer and I have to engage four-wheel drive. I don’t really mind it too much, but it sure is awkward when friends come over and can’t pull into our driveway. Instead, they are forced to carefully walk down our slippery slide of a driveway. It can’t be done without getting your shoes covered in mud (unless you are a ninja of course).
This is not our driveway getting paved, but it could be!
One of our friends down here that we play poker with (he has been forced to walk the driveway) offered to go down to city hall and talk to the mayor about paving our driveway with us. Everyone in our neighborhood understands that we haven’t been able to pave the driveway, but they are sick of our mud tracks and splatters all over the first 500 feet of the road. So, with that said, it is also an election year and everyone in our neighborhood (including me) will be voting for a Mayor in November. In essence, with the power of our vote alone, we are going to try to get the city to pave our driveway.
