One of my favorite things in Puerto Rico is probably the people and the land. The people are very nice and caring and love to be very out going. The land, such as the ocean and the beaches are very pretty. Puerto Ricans are very caring about their country too. Living in the US is very different from living in Puerto Rico. Living in the US its very dirty like and people aren't outgoing. Puerto Rico is a very pretty place you should definietly visit!
