My New Casa...

Hey, check this out. I just found my new house. I'm so stoked.

Take a look-

I bet a lot of you kids thing I'm crazy and am just being silly as always, huh?

Well, mas o menos. More or less.

Actually, this is one of the new accounts at PTS that I'm really excited about.

In case you are confused let me just shed a little light here.

PTS stands for Price Transportation Services. It's my Dad's small shipping and logistics company that specializes in intermodal transportation between the USA and Puerto Rico. We're based out of San Juan, Puerto Rico. More specifically Isla Verde, P.R.

I'm now in training to become one of the companies CSR's (Customer Service Representatives).

Sometimes I catch myself realizing just how happy and fortunate I am to be here. And then that slow burden of reality sets in and I begin to focus on the huge challenge that is set before me. A challenge of learning a really competitive business as quickly as possible, in English and Puerto Rican Spanish combined, a challenge of learning of how to get around in a new city (San Juan), and well... most importantly it's a challenge I'm stoked on- especially being apart of this account of moving this solar powered house from Puerto Rico to Washington D.C. It's actually apart of an international contest that represenstatives from countries around the world enter. Here it's the University of Puerto Rico that's entering once again in this world wide competition. Check it out- you'd dig it the most-

So yeah, this is one of the accounts that I'm learning a lot about. And yeah, I'm sold. If I ever have the luxury to buy a house, this would be it.

Shiiiiiitttttt.... I wouldn't mind taking 3.

One for Costa, one for Rincon P.R., and one for Jax Beach. They say it's simple and affordable enough, and more importantly they say a guy can always dream... well this would be one of mine.

A dream of having a completely comfortable and beautiful home, and all solar and green.

I think I could hack that.

Besides, it's a house, and you know what that means.

It's a party! It's a party!

Anyone else wanna go?

Whoah.
