y, Travel wins approva With incredulity, the ecstatic twelve year old ■ 3n to the pay-off window to receive the two ■ ' ousond dollars he had just won at a day at the ' oces. The boy, Jose Gonzalez, was at this time living on the beautiful, little island of Puerto Rico. This was not the first time he had been to the horse races and had placed a bet. However, it was the first time he had ever won. With the money, Gonzalez bought a new stereo, and put the rest in the bank. Drinking and gambling are favorite pastimes in Puerto Rico, said Gonzalez. Born and raised in San Juan, the capital of Puerto Rico, he was accus- tomed to this kind of fast living. Gonzalez also lived •■ Connecticut, Florida, and California, but he has otways returned to Puerto Rico. We move around a lot because my dad is a lab technician for Critikin Inc. Laboratories, and he is often transferred to companies in different states because they need his experience, he explained. Gonazlez, who often travels, has also visited numerous other places, all over the world such as Bermuda, Hawaii, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Washington D.C., Chicago, Georgia, Lou- isiana, Texas, Mexico and the Virgin Islands. He is currently planning a trip to France this summer. While it seems he didn ' t stay in any one place lor long, he did live on the sunny island of Puerto Rico for over nine years. Hence, he is able to speak both English and Spanish fluently. All I ever speak ot home is Spanish because I don ' t wont to forget it, he said. Missing the ambiance of Puerto Rico, Gonzalez :■ !i enjoys living in California but has hopes of returning to Puerto Rico. The two stotes have much in common; however, there are also many differing aspects. The food, said Gonzalez, is about the best you ' ve ever tasted. It doesn ' t even compare with the food here. Gonzalez recalls such dishes as pasteles, a mix of meat and vegetable prepared in a special way, and morcillas, a type of pork and rice dish. Morcillas are so good! he added. Very similar to the island of Hawaii, Puerto Rico is green, lush, hot, humid, and has many beautiful beaches. The water is always warm, and it is so clear you can see the sand, Gonzalez said. The fast growing island is already in the process of building a Disney World and has many large buildings, businesses and corporations. The indus- trial areas are quite similar to California, Gonza- lez commented. Lotteries are perhaps the main interest of many Puerto Ricans. Everbody loves a lottery, said Gonzalez. While thousands spend the majority of their time gambling and drinking, others attend par- ties, swim, fish for lobsters, scuba dive, watch TV, or attend baseball or basketball games. In Puerto Rico they don ' t play football, he said. After graduating, Gonzalez plans to attend UCLA and then proceed to medical school so he can someday become a neuro-surgeon. At present he does not know when he will go back to Puerto Rico but he is anticipating the day. — NH In order to hove a chance in a boseboll pool, Kurt Christian negotiates with Jose Gonzales for a space.
