Man, lemme tell ya about my day in Caguas. Wow, just wow. I woke up, and it was like the sun was throwin’ a party outside. I mean, who needs a coffee when you got that kinda vibe, right? But then, boom! My alarm was like, “Nah, sleep in!” So, I rolled outta bed late. Classic me.
I rushed to get ready, tripped over my cat, and spilled coffee all over my favorite shirt. Great start, huh? I was like, “C’mon, Caguas, don’t do me like this!” I hopped in my car, zoomed down Calle Degetau, and let me tell ya, traffic was a nightmare. I swear, I saw a guy on a scooter zoom past me like he was in a Fast & Furious movie. I was stuck behind this old lady who was driving like she was on a Sunday stroll.
Finally, I made it to the office on Calle San José. I’m an accountant, right? So, numbers are my jam. But today? Today was a circus. My boss, Mr. Rivera, was in a mood. He was pacing around like a lion in a cage. “Where are those reports?” he yelled. I was like, “Dude, chill! I’m on it!” But inside, I was like, “Why do I even do this?”
Then, outta nowhere, my phone buzzed. It was my buddy, Luis. He was like, “Yo, you gotta check out the new food truck on Calle Muñoz Rivera!” I was like, “Dude, I’m drowning in spreadsheets!” But then he sent me a pic of these tacos that looked like they were made by angels. I was torn. Work or tacos? Tacos won.
So, I snuck out during lunch. I mean, who could resist? I got to the food truck, and it was packed! People were everywhere, chattin’ and laughin’. I felt alive! I ordered the al pastor, and let me tell ya, it was a flavor explosion. I was in taco heaven. I even made a new friend in line, this cool guy named Javier. We bonded over our love for food and our mutual hatred for Mondays.
But then, as I was walkin’ back, I saw a commotion on Calle Barbosa. A street performer was doin’ some wild dance moves, and people were just lovin’ it. I stopped to watch, and for a moment, I forgot about work. I was like, “This is what life’s about!” But then, my phone buzzed again. It was my boss. “Where are you?” Ugh, back to reality.
I rushed back, and the rest of the day was a blur of numbers and stress. But then, right before I was about to leave, I got a surprise. My coworker, Ana, brought in flan. Like, homemade flan! I was like, “Girl, you’re a lifesaver!” We all gathered around, and for a moment, it felt like a family. Laughter, stories, and flan. What more could you want?
Finally, I clocked out and headed home. The sunset over Caguas was stunning. The sky was painted in oranges and pinks. I drove down Avenida Las Américas, and it hit me. This city, with all its quirks and chaos, is home.
So yeah, my day was a rollercoaster. From spilled coffee to tacos to flan, Caguas, you never fail to surprise me. I love this place, even when it drives me nuts. Can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings!
