An American Boricua on the Road anda Benvenutti came to California a while back looking to see where the Boricuas were hiding... She found me and explained to me the remarkable quest she'd engaged upon. Looking for Puerto Rican communities throughout the USA and find what was different about them... That is, if the was anything to be different about them. It's been a few years now... This is an update of her remarkable quest
After nearly 17 years on the road finding nuestra gente
for American Boricua, the thrill of stumbling upon
something new on the road never fails to amaze me.
Before packing up the Boricuamobile, I make sure the car
is ready for another long drive. Now that summer is in
full swing, your car will run much smoother with basic
vehicle maintenance. Make a note of your mileage and be
sure to keep up to date with oil changes. The last thing
you want is to call a tow truck in the middle of nowhere
because your engine overheated. Oil, brake and radiator
fluids, brake pads, proper tire pressure, even new
windshield wipers will make your vehicle road-trip
ready.
