San Juan, Puerto Rico

What a fun day we have planned here!  Andy, our nephew, lives here and plays in the Puerto Rico National Orchestra, so we are going to meet him here and he is going to show us the sights.  We have our own personal tour guide.






Just getting our first look at Puerto Rico... 

A view of the city as we head to the port.


More city views.



 We are going to have a beautiful day in Puerto Rico.



The sky is clear and weather is hot! 






We had some wonderful pastries for a snack here



This is an old coffee roaster that was displayed in the bakery.
The sign outside the bakery.
Here we are with our "tour guide!"


I am standing in front of the bakery.











We continued walking through Old San Juan enjoying the old building and the Plazas where decorated for Christmas.

 The Three Kings displayed.
 Building in Plaza was decorated for Christmas.
 A look at a street of Old San Juan and walking in one of the Plazas.
 The super market where we bought coffee.

 After buying coffee, we went to one of the old forts on the island.
It was in a good location because you could see all around the island and ocean from the fort.
Views from the fort... below, people are flying kites.







 Who are those crazy people!!





After having a fun day here, we walked back into town and caught an Uber (yes they have them in Puerto Rico) to Condado to eat dinner.  Also we got to see a bit 
more of the city.
We ate at a place called Ropa Vieja Grill.  We had a seafood bowl made from plantains.  It was different but pretty good.

Another fort we drove by.

 View of a beach across the street from the Restaurant.


After buying a couple of t-shirts, we said our good-byes and took a taxi back to the ship.
We enjoyed BBKings Lounge again then we watched the sail away from our room as we left Puerto Rico.  It was a late night for us, but we had a fun day and the night lights were pretty.




 Tomorrow we go to St. Thomas, U. S. V. I.
So, until then.....
