The “Signs” you are in Puerto Rico:

We took a variety of pictures of signs in Puerto Rico that were either funny, interesting or just telling of the island. Enjoy.

Corrientes Fuertes -Strong Currents. Most signs in Puerto Rico are in Spanish, and this sign was true to its bilingual warning. There were very strong currents that day.

This KEEP CLOSE sign was found on a gate to an apartment complex. It was in English but I think the true meaning (KEEP CLOSED) was lost in translation. Britton and I laughed about it as we kept close to each other 🙂

I put this picture in another post, but I thought it was such a good example of the road signs in Rincon. Nearly all of them are covered in stickers giving it a real surfer’s laid back vibe. A few “Road 413” signs were completely covered in stickers. I also like this picture because of the stick fence, the open ocean front land and palm trees.

PITZZA. We saw a couple of signs that spelled Pizza, P-I-T-Z-Z-A. I guess it makes sense because in Spanish the z sounds like an s and would be “Peesa”. With the T it makes it sound closer to the English pronunciation.

A Stick as a Road sign. No, this isn’t a tree planted by the road. We saw this a few places where road construction was going on. At first we were like, why is there a tree stick with a flag on it in the road? Then we understood that this was to mark the area of road work.  Well, I guess you wouldn’t have to buy those road cones this way?!

No Politics or Religion. We saw this sign in a small bakery shop. It says in Spanish, “Please do not talk about politics or religion.” Those are the two subjects that generally cause arguments amongst people, so they wanted to keep people from discussing them in their shop. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a sign around Colorado that prohibited anyone from talking about certain subjects.  There must’ve been some heated discussions in that bakery!

Mr. Special. Every time we drove past a Mr. Special we would laugh. But then we got to thinking about the grocery store we go to in Colorado called King Soopers. They might have a Mister Special, but we have a Sooper/Super King.
