Puerto Rico, You Lovely Island

So, the timing was pretty far from ideal, but I still can't really complain about a business trip to San Juan. I spent the morning working in the sun, and it's nice and warm. I won 30 dollars on a 25 cent slot machine at the hotel casino. And every time I stop by the hotel shop, I buy another package of these "Tropical Sweets."

I keep buying more because there's something just a tiny bit wrong with each kind. The ingredients are appealingly all-natural--the mango one, for example, really just contains mango, sugar, and water--but there are some serious textural problems that I can only assume are a side effect of the lack of artificial stabilizers. The coconut ones are impossibly dry and crumbly. The mango ones are too squishy, only slightly more solid than, say, marmalade. Up next: Coconut Leche! I'll report back.
