Hola Angeles! Hay muchos restaurantes veganos y vegetarianos en los videos. Especialmente en los videos de la vida cotidianas. No somos vegetarianos pero me gusta comer la comida!
Thanks guys. San German is really a nice town with lost of history. I did visit this town a year and a half ago, but you have motivated me to return and record the churches again. Porta Coeli was closed when I visited, but hope to see it open next time.
Yah it's worth seeing and hearing the ghost stories. Maybe we can go together and see the underground tunnel system too! The guide said they were anywhere from 3 feet tall to 10 feet in some places.
Today is 10/14/2020. I was just watching UA-cam videos and end up watching one of your videos at the finca (love it) Thank yo for sharing so much beautiful content/information. god bless you and your family.

@@LifeTransPlanet Too much Scooby-Doo perhaps? I'm just kidding dear. LOL. Thanks for visiting us and congrats on your beautiful project. Siempre bienvenida.
My grandma used to live in La Tea, which is an old rural neighborhood just 20 minutes away from that church. I fucking loved that house. Huge driveway going up and a terrace right next to it, her house had 2 bathrooms, 3 rooms all with air conditioning, kitchen and livingroom, a gaming area where my cousin had his N64 and later Gamecube; those were some badass summer trips ngl. Never thought that church was haunted.
@@LifeTransPlanet thanks, she sold it to a family member from her daughter's husband. It was the biggest house rebuilt on cement, since a lot of them were old and built with wood. But if you visit San German again and look for La Tea, just keep going straight when you're there until you hit a dead end; the biggest house on your right was her house. She had to sell it for reasons I'm not entirely sure. She's staying in her own apartment behind my aunt's house in another neighborhood in San German. It's close to the Amigos supermarket. Maybe it's not Amigos anymore, but the structure is white.
Your videos are so refreshing and educational, even for someone like me, born and raised in Puerto Rico. I hope you can continue making these videos and improve the production quality. Just two tips from a guy with many years of video production experience outside of UA-cam: 1) Try to keep your camera or phone as steady as posible. 2) When panning or moving your camera from one side to the other, do it slowly. If you think the take is too long, speed it up or trim it in post.
Thanks Mel! Yes, we are totally novices at this, but getting better. I find the slower I go, the better it turns out. In person our heads move really fast and we can take in a lot of info, but filming it takes our eyes a lot slower/longer to register. Maybe someday you can go with us on an adventure and show us a thing or two :-)
Thank you for share your experience! We went to visit that church, but always arrived to late to found it open; we are from the capital in Rio Piedras close to Carolina PR. now we live in Orlando, FL. I am happy to see you and your husband enjoying and learning about our culture it is the best anybody can do, when they moved to a place learn about there culture heritage. God bless you and bless all your family and friends!
Thank you Pablo! Yes, every time we had been before it was closed too so we had to aprovechar! :-) I love learning all about the history and culture here in my new home. Bendiciones a ti tambien.
Another great video, thanks. Ever been to Vega Baja? That's where my mother is from and I got to live there a few years back in the 70's when I was a kid.
Hola Angel! Yes, I have been to Vega Baja, a long time ago. It would be fun to go again. It's a pretty far drive from the west coast for a day trip, but maybe if we're in the area overnight we'll stop in!
Very cool video I had to watch it twice.. For me this would be a place to visit some day, one of my sisters lived on the outskirts of San German for a while and i remember it as being very pleasant there. Lots of history in that old town. It had been debated where Christopher Columbus is buried but one of the locations is believed to have been inside of a church in Spain, for this reason i had heard of the church thing way back then. (first bellow ground now above in a mausoleum sill inside the church) In the DR they will say he's buried there.
There's a religious priest called. Dominican friers. Which was founded by saint Dominic of Guzman many centuries ago(Spain). For example. Saint Francis of assis found the Franciscan order. And saint Dominic found the Dominican. When Cristobal colombus reach to the land of Dominican Republic. He named in honor of the Dominican friers'order... etc. Beautiful Church and beautiful town.

@@LifeTransPlanet Nowadays most Puerto Ricans are either Christmas and Easter Catholics or devoted protestants. But back in the day most Puerto Ricans were hard core believers in the Catholic faith and as a result we have many legends and myths and sacred sites and interesting lore. The best sacred site, or at least the one that is best preserved, is a shrine at a well in Sabana Grande. The Virgin Mary allegedly appeared to some children and told them some prophecies about the fate of mankind. People had mass pilgrimages to the religious site where they were cured of diseases and such. There's even cool blurry video of a sky phenomenon (or camera aberration) that crowds interpreted as a sign from God. If I remember correctly the Catholic church wanted to declare them heretics. They remain somewhat relevant because they tie the prophecies to the hurricanes and the earthquakes. I haven't been there in several years but if things haven't changed you'll find a tall statue of the Virgen del Rosario locked in a glass cage, the holly well, a chapel, some historical documents and sacred artifacts, free roaming chickens, and a collection of leg braces and wheelchairs and crutches from people who were healed. I'm a non believer but I love these sites because they're interesting and... well... creepy. I was also into UFO lore when it was big in Puerto Rico but it disappeared when people started carrying cameras in their pockets. The place has a dress code so no flip flops or sandals, no shorts, no short skirts, and if I remember correctly no exposed sinful shoulders. Once I had to turn away at the Santuario Schoenstatt in Juana Diaz because of the many signs that warned lustful seducers from entering the property and my SO and I were apparently too sexy for their church. The Schoenstatt at Cabo Rojo is pretty neat but there's no creepy stuff there. Love your videos. Keep them coming.
I love language and the etymology! Depends where you go on the island, but yes Spanish is definitely preferred. Many people are bilingual too! I have never heard anyone speak just the original Taino language that was spoken prior to Spanish colonization though. Although some words are spliced through like hamaca, barbacoa and the names of many towns. I would love to hear it spoken fluently by someone!
@@LifeTransPlanet Yep, it would be also interesting to hear in the streets of any city/town some of the native languages spoken in North American before the arrival of European settlers.
@@Fisterra1883 I have actually heard some people in the northern areas still speaking the native languages during some ceremonies and even casually like Navajo and Sioux.! Languages are so beautiful.
Wow, theres a spanish word you couldnt pronounce? If all these buildings have been standing for this long, earthquakes must not be that much of a issue then
Hey Gbenro! Porta Coeli isn't Spanish, it's Latin! That's why it was hard to pronounce. Spanish is easy; you just say it as it's written. There aren't too many buildings left that are as old as this one and many have had major repairs over the years. San German is an amazingly cool town!
Awesome video thanks!
Thanks so much!

Interesting! I am not sure. I didn't see anything too odd, but it did have a sort of spooky vibe that really old places sometimes carry.

Aww that's so nice! I agree!
thank you
I lived by San German for years. My parents frequently use to drive by that historic church.
Oh that is so cool! It's a really special church!
Great Video!!!
Thanks Kenton!
I never get to go anywhere. But if I did I would love to visit here. I also love old churches so I would def love to see those up close and personal.
Thanks Journee!
Great video, very chill vibe.

Nunca e podido entrar!!!!
No se si esta abierta ahora, pero hay que ir si esta!
My Mother's family came from Sam German. They were there since the mid 1500,s
Did you go see the haunted sentry box San Cristobal, I think it is? I read a story about it in elementary school that was very spooky.
Wow that sounds super cool! No I have never heard of that!
You need to visit the under street tunnels!!
The guide mentioned that there was a tunnel system that at one point connected with the church. But I'm not sure where they are.
There's a religious priest called. Dominican friers. Which was founded by saint Dominic of Guzman many centuries ago(Spain). For example. Saint Francis of assis found the Franciscan order.
