Hey, It's Culebra!

There's a whole different mindset here. If the slow pace in the south drives you nuts, don't come here. If you think everything revolves around the customer, think again. Most of the time I like this relaxed way of thinking, but sometimes it is aggravating. With time, I will learn to live with the lifestyle. Don't worry, be happy.

Culebra is a place where the streets are so narrow, cars drive on the sidewalk so trucks can get through. It's a place where businesses don't know what time they close until they close for the day. It's a place where the bank locks its door because there's only one teller and there are already too many people in line.

It's not what most North Americans are used to, and whenever we encounter something unexpected like this, we shrug and say, "Hey, it's Culebra!"
