PUERTO RICAN FUNICULAR
I had never even heard of this word until we came to Puerto Rico! A Funicular is a cable railroad, especially one on a mountainside, in which ascending and descending cars are counterbalanced. The one located are the El Conquistador Hotel in Fajardo, Puerto Rico over looks one of the most amazing views in the entire island. When riding the funicular, riders can see Isleta Marina and other islands off the east coast in Puerto Rico.

If you visit a Puerto Rican grocery store you will undoubtedly notice more root vegetables and potato looking foods. These roots are an influence of the Taino Indians who first inhabited Puerto Rico. One of the most common influences of the Taino is the consumption of the Yuca or cassava root. This dish is served similarly to how potatoes are eaten. Get the garlic sauce!
