Friday night, I arrived to Ponce, Puerto Rico, an hour later I was in my hometown, Coamo Puerto Rico. My brother, Emanuel, picked me up from the airport. I really missed being home, being around my family. My mom was very happy to see, as always.

Saturday morning, I was awaken by the most beautiful girl I have seen, my niece Estephanie. I wont forget the first look she gave me when she saw me. It was a look of confusion, of “who is this tall dark man?”, but also a look, like she knew me. It took a while for her to accept me. Abuela Nilsa facilitated that, my mom did one of the sweetest things I have seen, my mom kissed Estephanie in the cheek and in the hand, and told her “besito besito” (little kisses little kisses), I gave her a kiss on her cheek and on her hand, and Estephanie gave me a big smile. That moment made my whole day much better. I have taken so many pictures and videos of her, that I haven’t got tired. I really want to be “Super Tio” to her. I want to be the uncle that took her to Disney, which I already started to save for that day.

I learned that cute baby girls are “chick magnets”. I went to the mall, and I was pushing the stroller, and without lying, 8 out of 10 girls, looked at me, which is something that does not happen when I am alone. I’m gonna bring her with me where the hottest girls hang out, ha ha.

During the 2 days, I have seen so many high school friends, and they all remember me. most of them have kids and families. i also saw one of my best friends in high school, Gaby, a guy that I haven’t seen in over 6 years, it was good seeing him, I’m looking forward meeting with him again, hopefully for my birthday.

Saturday night, i went to a local festivity, it was crowded and nice until someone pulled out a gun and shot 6-8 shots, everyone in the crowd ran. it was a scary scene, everyone running, in panic, cops pulling their guns out, looking for the person that have made the shots. today i learn, there was one dead, and 2 injured. it is my first time in that type of scenario, i wanted to stay and film more, but with the people i was with, they all started running.

Sunday, was the half-marathon San Blas. The streets were crowded, it was hot, it started raining, and not a lot of athletes participated, as I remember 10 years ago.

Well, this is my first weekend at home. I will be taking more pictures and writing more as the week goes and I get out and do things.

Oh yeah, I went underwater with my brother and Estephanie.
