Happy Birthday to me!!!!!!!!!!! One day late, but I was thinking of myself (and all of you) when I was enjoying my day in Old San Juan yesterday :)
It was a gorgeous day, sunny, not a cloud in the sky, with beautiful breezes off the ocean. We wandered the streets lined with brightly-coloured, colonial-styled houses - reminded me a lot of New Orleans. We explored the El Morro - the fort out at the promentory, 6 levels high and covering several football fields - the spaniards were serious about protecting the island! If you stay off the cruiseline/touristy track there are some neat little shops. People are very friendly and helpful here (we get lost a lot :)
Today was spent checking out the Contemporary Art gallery, the market area and the Belles Artes gallery. Loved the name of the cafe we found for lunch - Bla Bla
Hello you two!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great trip so far - we are all very envious back home. Can't wait to see the pictures of Bla Bla and other points of note! It's great fun to check in and see where you've been each day from my windowless desk ;((
Love to you both oxoxo Kate
What a coincidence! We are headed to Puerto Rico on Saturday. Is it too much to hope you'll be there for two weeks? It's a reward trip from Robert's work so we're staying at a nice resort called Rio Mar, east of SJ. For our last two nights (on our own), we'll be at the Caribe Hilton in SJ.
ReplyDeleteI've been tracking the weather and it sounds fantastic. Enjoy your holiday!
