Puerto Ricans come from a mixture of three distinct cultures which have in turn influenced the creation of Puerto Rican culture. The results of the mixing of African slaves, Taino Indians and European conquistadores can be seen all over the island in the homes, clothing, religion and art of the islanders. Some of the more popular types of hanging art available in Puerto Rico are carved gourds (sometimes used as musical instruments), vejigante masks (demon masks with large spikes and teeth) and tiny "casas tipicas," or typical houses, that are done in the style of homes in Puerto Rico and sometimes have scenes taking place in front.

A phone jack can often seem even more unsightly when it serves no functional purpose! Does this Spark an idea?
