Now 1600 miles from New York city! Two days of ocean travel was fun, but now it’s just nice to walk on land again. San Juan had a real Spanish feel to it, at least down town where we were. There were lots of street vendors selling things like cigars, jewellery, and ice-cold water (man, it was hot). We climbed up to the old fort and poked around. Both camera batteries died, so we missed some nice shots – like Orion’s purchase of a custom-made T-shirt from a local artist. Sierra got some “fruit art” for her room and a nice necklace. We found a Mexican restaurant on the waterfront and had a few (too many) margaritas and some good chips & salsa. That did it for us – we got back to the ship, did the Jacuzzi thing, and promptly fell asleep. I needed some acetylsalicylic acid the next day!
