Celebrate Valentine's Day with Brute Force
Ok, now don't get the wrong idea. All I meant by that headline is that, on Valentine's Day, if you're looking for an alternative to a romantic menu at a local restaurant or a weekend special at a hotel (I'll have those deals for you soon), I've found a pretty good one. Ever heard of Fuerza Bruta, or "Brute Force" in Spanish? If you have, chances are you're already getting excited.
Fuerza Bruta is a visual, musical, and aerial spectacle that almost literally knocks your socks off. Think Blue Man Group on fast forward, think a gritty Cirque du Soleil, think of the totally unexpected. The production is the brainchild of the people behind De La Guarda, and it landed in Puerto Rico on February 3. Tickets ara available through Ticket Pop, and while you certainly don't have to wait for Valentine's Day to catch a show, you have to admit it's a unique way to commemorate the occasion!

Wow, February 2010 is a busy, busy month in Puerto Rico. There are so many important events and holidays, combined with so many smaller festivals, that there is practically something to do every day, and certainly every weekend. The highlights? Start with the Ponce Carnival, the island's biggest party and the annual stage for the island's vejigantes to strut their stuff. Of course, we can't forget about Valentine's Day, and I'll soon have plenty of information about what local restaurants and hotels are offering on the "Day of Love," as many people in the Latin world know it. Then there is a smorgasbord of fairs and festivals celebrating everything from classical music to silver. And finally, there are sporting events, highlighted by the self-styled "World's Best" 10K Race and a skydiving freefall competition. And I'm not even counting whale-watching and flamenco dancing.
In other words, February in Puerto Rico truly offers something for just about everyone.

Valentine's Day is just around the corner, and what better way to get ready for it than by ushering in a new blog carnival. Courtesy (quite appropriately) of Susan Breslow Sardone, your About.com guide to honeymoons/romantic travel. From the U.S. to Japan to Puerto Rico (check out my romantic hotels list), Susan brings you a world full of love. There are even a few ideas for those of you who want to plan something special, like, say, a spa or a Valentine's cruise. So if you believe, like Susan does, that love makes the world go round, check out what the world is doing this Valentine's Day.

It's February, and for many people around the world, that means one thing: Carnival, or as they say in New Orleans, Mardi Gras. Of course, Ponce has its own Carnival tradition, and it's got quite a history. Like Mardi Gras and the world-famous Carnaval in Rio de Janeiro, the Ponce version has its own rituals, traditions and events. In this massive party, the stars are the vejigantes, extravagantly costumed "demons" that take center stage and wreak playful havoc on everyone. The entire city of Ponce gets sold out long before Carnival takes place (this year it's February 10-16), but if you're anywhere on the island during the event, you should consider checking it out.

Before we say goodbye to our spotlight on Vieques, I thought I'd close with a review of one of my favorite restaurants on the island. Bili will surprise you with bold flavors, creative dishes, and surprisingly sophisticated fare that is a bit of a contrast from its relaxed, tropical ambience. If you head to Vieques, you'll find that dining options of this caliber are rare; it's more common to get good, tasty, and basic food. Bili, to use a term I usually avoid, kicks it up a notch, and for that, I thank them.
