sounds very tempting....... I'm sure Elmode would not mind chasing some Boricuas just to take him back many moons ago in NYC.

Is there a moderately sized Colombian Community in Puerto Rico Arthur? You know - like Astoria Queens in New York for example.

HA! HA! They have a plenty of goats and donkeys here for Elmo to chase as well.The Colombian community here is very small.But they say its the second largest, the first being the Dominicans.All the Colombians are in Miami.

Arthur Dear Arthur,

Has the Colombian Consulate relocated it's offices in PR yet ? I know they were planning to move to another location. There can't be too many goats in the caribbean that aren't marked for the dining room table as they are considered a delicasy and found in most supermarkets and resturants with local flavor and favor. I am sure Elmo eats the goat meat too !!!! Right Elmo ??? Curry Goat is very good ........ If Elmos wife even finds the PoorButHappy website he dead meat himself. jajajaja

How come PR gets a Colombian Consulate and we've got to drive all the way to Miami? I'm sure there must be more Colombians in Orlando.

kernow62 It's a shorter drive from Orlando to Miami than the 1200 mile swim from PR to Miami.

I’m sneaking in here for a couple minutes before my wife comes outta her long bath.
Guys, I’ve eaten just about everything, dogs, cats(peruanos prepare them the best), chivo, burro, tortugas, rats, pigeons, etc and of course like true Barranquillero, iguana eggs. You‘re talking to a guy who expresses his deepest affection of love for a woman by sticking my tongue up her ass and coming out with yesterdays beans. Most people find that disgusting, not me! But then, I find sushi gross.

I'll get there, when I get there!

I was just kidding it is just a pain in the ass for the 20,000 plus Colombians in Orlando or the 45,000 or so in Central Florida to have to drive to Miami often 5 or 6 times in a month to sort out screwed up paperwork. Central Florida has 2/3rds of the Colombians in the state but no consulate or even a vice consulate. I guess I was just venting a bit because I have to drive to Miami so often with my mother-in-law. :-)

Just curious if there is a figure for the number of Colombians in PR, not counting illegals of course. I am sure if illegals were counted the numbers in Florida would jump quite a bit. It is estimated that 20,000 in Orlando area is closer to 27,000 to 30,000, I don't know how they arrive at these figures.

kernow62 The PR Colombian Consulate services a lot more than the Colombians in PR as their are Colombians situated throughout the caribbean islands that have to travel via airplane to PR from islands 100s of miles away from PR. For instance the Virgin Islands (British and US) have no Colombian consulate and therefore it's Colombian residents must fly to PR to access the Colombian Consulate. That's just the tip of the iceberg.

Elmo we would welcome you here. There are a few blonde Americans left for you.

Primarily, at least where I live, it is Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, Colombians, New Yoricans, Vietnemese (sp?), Hatians. (Damn I can't spell today), and lately lots from Mexico and Central America.

I live on a small cul-de-sac, this is the makeup of my street, in order.

(1) black American,
(2) British/Colombian,
(3) Panamanian/Virgin Islands,
(4) Puertorican,
(5) Cuban,
(6)white American,
(7) black American,
(8) white American/black American,
(9) Newyorican/white American,
(10) black American.

I only point out the racial makeup to show we are really diversified, I do not have a single neighbour that I don't get along with.

My street is typical of our neighbourhood.

I suppose because of the low paying tourist industry we attract a lot of immigrants. Plenty of toilets to clean!

kernow, thanks! but what i'm trying to do is to stay away from colombians. we don't get alone,i don't even talk to half of my family in colombia. colombian women hate my guts. i was thinking about moving to hollywood, fl. my dominican buddies are already there, and i don't know of any colombians there yet. i know of many colombians in miami and i find them no different from cuban americans.

I'll get there, when I get there!

It's not only Puerto Ricans who eat goat. Cabrito is very popular here and in northern Mexico.

Disclaimer: any comment I make is inane and is not to be taken seriously, and is so patently ridiculous that no one should take it seriously, even as an insult.

He Elmo I used to live in Hollywood, right near the Seminole indian reservation. You could get a job wrestling gators. ;-)

Speaking of goat, my mother's neighbours are from JA and every party they habg a goat by the back legs on their clothes line and hack the head of with a machete. Then they throw the head over the fence for my mother's cats. Curry goat is good. Ital.
