On Sunday, I rode my bike up to North Philly to check out the Puerto Rican Day festivities. It was amazing, and probably one of the craziest things I’ve seen in a long time. There were flags everywhere, lots of pimped out cars, and some serious pride on display. Even though I was only a few miles from Center City, Philadelphia, I didn’t really feel like I was in America. The dual nationalism and the mixture of cultures I see day after day in North Philly is surreal and I have to admit, I love the fact that my morning commute to work in el Norte feels like I’m biking to another country. More on that to come.
