Thanks for the friend invite! You might be related to my daughters who are also Rosarios. I also walk the Red Road and have been a Sundance supporter for years. Aho, Mitakuye Oyasin.

My mother was born in Caguas and my father in Comerio, raised in Aguas Buenas. I was born in NY, but have traveled quite a bit. Spent some time in Cali in 2002 with friends. I have also been to the Rosebud reservation in South Dakota. Right now I live in Maryland.
