Let's go to Puerto Rico

Hi! My name is Ryan and I am 8 years old. I want to tell you about my trip to Puerto Rico. It's a really cool place where Ricky Martin, a famous singer, is from. My family and I visited a lot of fun places, but my favorite was the Casa Museo Ricky Martin. It's a museum about Ricky Martin and his life. We saw pictures of him when he was young and even some of his cool costumes from concerts. There was also a room where they played his music videos. I danced a lot! The best part was learning that he helps kids around the world with his charity work. I loved my visit to Puerto Rico and can't wait to go back!
