Today I wanted to share with you one of my favorite pictures from our Summer Road Trip. It is the church of San Miguel in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Built in 1610, this is supposed to be the oldest church in the United States.

I have it at the office, to the right of my monitor. Every time I see it, it reminds me of how much I loved the road trip.

What is a boricua?

Puerto Ricans often proudly identify themselves as Boricua, from the Taíno word Boriken, to illustrate their recognition of their Taíno heritage. The word Boriken, which translates to "the great land of the valiant and noble Lord", was used by the original Taíno Indian population to refer to the island of Puerto Rico before the arrival of the Spanish. The use of the word Boricua has been popularized in the island and abroad by descendents of Puerto Rico heritage, commonly using the phrase, "Yo soy Boricua" ("I am Boricua", or "I am Puerto Rican") to identify themselves as Puerto Ricans.
