Puerto Rico



I remember in Puerto Rico a beautiful city called San Juan. The beach was amazing and the buildings were really old. The people from this state told me about how this was called the old city and these buildings were built hundreds of years ago. The city is the capital and was founded in 1521. There are 29 airports in Puerto Rico. The whether in Puerto Rico is the best, because it's always hot all year round. Puerto Rico's main sport is Baseball, and other common sports are boxing and basketball.





During my vacation I noticed Puerto Rico uses the United States money, other country's usually have there own money but Puerto Rico been a part of the United States since 1898 and Puerto Rican citizen have been United States citizens since 1917. Spaniards settled in Puerto Rico in 1493. They brought slaves from Africa to the fields.
